Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B-.

The Tommy Eichenberg pick is the one that will follow the Steelers into the fall. They took him 25 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the 20th pick they get a load in the middle. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
No edge and no loss on Zach Frazier in pick 51; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A tidy little value on Mike Sainristil in No. 84, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick119 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Johnny Wilson at the 119th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tommy Eichenberg. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Jha'Quan Jackson at Round 6, Pick 3 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick195 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
A reasonable price with a little left over, M.J. Devonshire in pick No. 195. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
