Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Steelers drew a line under the quarterback search with Nix: D-.

Somebody took the Steelers to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

Whatever Bo Nix becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The Suamataia pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

McConkey has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. On value alone, Holker makes the weekend a net positive.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Ladd McConkey
In No. 20 they get a difference-maker at receiver, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In the Round 1 slot they get their guy under center for the next decade, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
By-the-book stuff, Zach Frazier at the 51st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick84 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
A want over a need in pick 84: Kingsley Suamataia adds an offensive lineman while edge rusher keeps waiting.
Pick87 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
Nice patience on Andru Phillips, who had no business lasting to the 87th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
A straight-up fair deal on Mekhi Wingo at Round 3, Pick 37, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick119 Rnd4 Will Shipley
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Will Shipley. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in pick No. 139; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick152 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They paid sticker price for Luke McCaffrey in No. 152, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick178 Rnd6 Dallin Holker
They robbed the room for Dallin Holker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
