Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let Polk fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Ja'Lynn Polk, the No. 73 name on the board, stolen at Round 3, Pick 35. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Frazier pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, edge rusher and other spots. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If Watson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the 20th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Zach Frazier while clear needs at quarterback, edge rusher and other spots sat open.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mike Sainristil in the 84th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick98 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
The board fumbled Ja'Lynn Polk all the way to No. 98, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
No edge and no loss on Tyler Davis in slot 119; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick178 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at Round 6, Pick 3 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick195 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
A wild overpay on Nathaniel Watson in pick No. 195, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
