Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Nix is the plan now, and the Steelers grade out a B+.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Bo Nix is the Steelers' quarterback, full stop.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Reaching for Fisher left real value on the table behind him.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Fisher pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman, linebacker and other spots.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In slot 22 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick54 Rnd2 Kalen King
They did well to land Kalen King in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick82 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at No. 82 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick86 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Blake Fisher in pick No. 86 leaves interior defensive lineman, linebacker and other spots for later.
Pick96 Rnd3 Tory Horton
A conviction pick on Tory Horton at the 96th pick that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick118 Rnd4 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at pick 118 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123 Rnd4 James Williams
By-the-book stuff, James Williams at Round 4, Pick 23 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick196 Rnd6 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in the 196th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick239 Rnd7 Kamal Hadden
A straight-up fair deal on Kamal Hadden at Round 7, Pick 19, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
