Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesC+ FutureC
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Steelers.

The Khristian Boyd pick is the one that will follow the Steelers into the fall. They took him 59 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

The Williams pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

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.

So much rides on Troy Fautanu that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick 20 they get a building block for the line at fair value. More want than need.
Pick35 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 35 on Zach Frazier with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick51 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at No. 51 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick98 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
They took Andru Phillips at par in the 98th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick119 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Khristian Boyd well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick178 Rnd6 James Williams
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, James Williams in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick195 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
Circle this one: Braiden McGregor at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
