Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

Of all the ways to open, the Steelers chose the head-scratcher, spending Round 3, Pick 22 on Maason Smith with interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots still wide open.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The Frazier pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Williams steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Terrion Arnold. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick53 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at the 53rd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick85 Rnd3 Maason Smith
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 85 on Maason Smith with interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots unsolved.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in Round 4, Pick 20; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in No. 121 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick199 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams at the Round 6 slot is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Devin Leary
They paid a round early for Devin Leary in the 242nd overall pick, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
