Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedC+ TradesB- FutureC
The jury is out on the Steelers. For now, C+.

The Steelers bet big and early on Zach Frazier, 22 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Steelers indulged a want in Frazier while a need in quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open.

So much rides on Amarius Mims that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. Need was not the driver here.
Pick40 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 40 on Zach Frazier with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick84 Rnd3 Max Melton
Value with a capital V on Max Melton in the 84th overall pick, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick119 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in pick 119 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick148 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at Round 5, Pick 12 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick178 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They reached into another round for Curtis Jacobs, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick195 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers in No. 195 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
