Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Steelers torched the value chart for Christian Alliegro, taking him 57 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

On value alone, Alexander makes the weekend a net positive. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Frazier pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 KJ Bolden
In the 21st pick they get an enforcer at safety, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Charlie Becker
The board had cheaper options than Charlie Becker at pick 53, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kewan Lacy
Good price on Kewan Lacy in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick85 Rnd3 Luke Montgomery
A tidy little value on Luke Montgomery in the 85th overall pick, a step better than break-even. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick99 Rnd3 Ashton Hampton
A wild overpay on Ashton Hampton in Round 3, Pick 35, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121 Rnd4 Bear Alexander
Somehow Bear Alexander was still sitting there in slot 121, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135 Rnd4 Blake Frazier
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Blake Frazier in Round 4, Pick 35 leaves edge rusher for later.
Pick159 Rnd5 Christian Alliegro
They left a pile of value on the table to take Christian Alliegro this early at No. 159. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick213 Rnd6 Junior Sherrill
By-the-book stuff, Junior Sherrill at slot 213 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick214 Rnd6 Noah Fifita
A conviction pick on Noah Fifita at pick 214 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick224 Rnd7 Brett Norfleet
Brett Norfleet in the 224th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Darius Taylor
Darius Taylor in pick No. 237 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
