Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA- FutureB
A solid, sensible weekend for the Steelers: B.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Steelers reached some 26 spots for James Williams, and value like that does not grow back. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. It is not that Frazier is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Safety was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 28th pick they get a go-to option on the outside. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kingsley Suamataia. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick60 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A want over a need in the Round 2 slot: Zach Frazier adds an offensive lineman while quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick84 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
A straight-up fair deal on Marist Liufau at Round 3, Pick 20, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Zak Zinter, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick101 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Khyree Jackson at the 101st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick108 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at pick 130 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
