Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

The needs board said one thing and the Steelers did another, using the 51st pick on Zach Frazier while quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots waited. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took McGlothern.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In No. 20 they get protection for the quarterback. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Zach Frazier at offensive lineman with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick84 Rnd3 Renardo Green
Renardo Green in the 84th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick98 Rnd3 Malik Washington
Good price on Malik Washington in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Fair-plus on Jarvis Brownlee Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick178 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern is a better player than slot 178 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Value with a capital V on Ty'Ron Hopper in pick No. 195, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
