Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Taulia Tagovailoa at pick No. 238 is 37 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Frazier pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, running back and other spots still on the board. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

That Bullock pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in slot 21 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A surprising call. With edge rusher, running back and other spots still to address, they spent Round 2, Pick 19 on Zach Frazier, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick84 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick120 Rnd4 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips in No. 120 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121 Rnd4 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
They paid sticker price for Tyrone Tracy Jr. in the 121st pick, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
No drama and no debate, Jaylan Ford went about where he belonged in the 197th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick200 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at No. 200 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick238 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
They talked themselves into Taulia Tagovailoa at pick No. 238, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
