Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Steelers for Cowing: B-.

Call it larceny. Jacob Cowing sat on the board until Round 4, Pick 21, and the Steelers did not need to be asked twice. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Frazier pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots.

Frazier has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 JC Latham
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a building block for the line at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick52 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots to take Zach Frazier, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick84 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Payton Wilson in slot 84. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Max Melton
The board had Max Melton higher than No. 120, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
The board fumbled Jacob Cowing all the way to pick 121, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Taulia Tagovailoa at the 238th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
