Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

You can usually follow a front office's logic. This one is harder. The Steelers spent the 51st pick on Zach Frazier while quarterback, safety and other spots sat unaddressed. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. If Jacobs pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
They paid sticker price for Amarius Mims in the Round 1 slot, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, safety and other spots to take Zach Frazier, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick84 Rnd3 Malik Washington
Malik Washington at No. 84 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at pick No. 98 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at the 119th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick178 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Curtis Jacobs. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
A tidy little value on Tahj Washington in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
