Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB- TradesC- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Steelers for Frazier: C+.

The Steelers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Zach Frazier fell into the 84th pick. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Ladd McConkey
In No. 30 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
A reasonable price with a little left over, Keon Coleman in the 51st pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
Circle this one: Zach Frazier at pick No. 84 is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick98 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A want over a need in pick 98: Christian Mahogany adds an offensive lineman while quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
