Draft Grade — Steelers

A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Steelers get a C.

There is reaching, and then there is Khristian Boyd at pick No. 119. The Steelers jumped the board by 59 and dared it to prove them wrong.

It is not that Fisher is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most. Their trades came out a wash either way.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Ladd McConkey
In slot 20 they get a go-to option on the outside, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Value said wait; Zach Frazier in pick 39 says they were not listening. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick51 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at No. 51 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick84 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
A surprising call. With quarterback, safety and other spots still to address, they spent the 84th pick on Blake Fisher, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick119 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd in the 119th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
Jaden Crumedy at Round 6, Pick 3 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
