Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B- to prove it.

The tape said wait; the Steelers did not. Braiden McGregor went at pick 120, a good 54 picks before the board was ready.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. The Steelers indulged a want in Rosengarten while a need in interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots stayed open.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick 20 they get a sticky cover corner. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in slot 51 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick84 Rnd3 Malik Washington
A premium they did not need to pay, Malik Washington a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Roger Rosengarten at offensive lineman with interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots open.
Pick120 Rnd4 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at No. 120 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
No edge and no loss on Curtis Jacobs in the 195th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick240 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
This one needs a full-page explanation: Sam Hartman in the 240th overall pick, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
