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

The war room fell hard for Tyrone Tracy Jr., and it showed at pick 98: 28 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Frazier pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, edge rusher and other spots.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Smith.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Zach Frazier at offensive lineman with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick84 Rnd3 Renardo Green
A slide stopped in pick No. 84, with Renardo Green worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick98 Rnd3 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Tyrone Tracy Jr. in slot 98 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Maason Smith slid further than he should have, and the 119th overall pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick178 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
By-the-book stuff, Dwight McGlothern at No. 178 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick195 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
They paid sticker price for Ryan Flournoy in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
