Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB FutureC
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Steelers.

The board owed the Steelers one, and it paid up: Rome Odunze, the No. 9 name on the board, sitting there at slot 33 like a gift left on the doorstep. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The cost of the Hall reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Frazier pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, safety and other spots still on the board. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

They went 3 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get an anchor for the offensive line at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick33 Rnd2 Rome Odunze
Steal is underselling it; Rome Odunze at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick66 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Zach Frazier at offensive lineman with quarterback, safety and other spots open.
Pick119 Rnd4 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips slipping to slot 119 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick195 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A wild overpay on Gabe Hall in the 195th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
