Draft Grade — Steelers

The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on Melton: C+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Max Melton at pick No. 98 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. 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. The Rice reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
They took Amarius Mims at par in the 20th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Zach Frazier while clear needs at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick84 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick 84 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick98 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton in slot 98 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
