Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Steelers a B-.

The Steelers torched the value chart for Jordan Whittington, taking him 39 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a true top target. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
No edge and no loss on Zach Frazier in slot 51; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick84 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They went early on Khyree Jackson in the 84th overall pick, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A straight-up fair deal on Maason Smith at pick No. 98, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cedric Gray. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick178 Rnd6 Khristian Boyd
They liked Khristian Boyd enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 6 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jordan Whittington
A big swing on Jordan Whittington at Round 6, Pick 20, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
