Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in the 178th overall pick: the Steelers steal King and grade out a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kalen King, slot 178, roughly 39 picks past where he belonged.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots went begging. Tupuola-Fetui has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A premium they did not need to pay, Zach Frazier a notch or two before his time. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick84 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Dominick Puni at offensive lineman with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick98 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in Round 3, Pick 35 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick119 Rnd4 James Williams
No drama and no debate, James Williams went about where he belonged in the 119th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick178 Rnd6 Kalen King
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Kalen King in the 178th overall pick, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A big swing on Zion Tupuola-Fetui at No. 195, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
