Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB
The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on Rouse: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Walter Rouse slide, and the Steelers were the ones holding the card at No. 195. Highway robbery.

If Frazier pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with safety, running back and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zach Frazier. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in the 51st pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in Round 3, Pick 4 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
They did well to land Marshawn Kneeland in the 84th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
A want over a need in pick 98: Blake Fisher adds an offensive lineman while safety, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick103 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mekhi Wingo. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick119 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at slot 119 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jordan Travis
Good price on Jordan Travis in the Round 6 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in the 195th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
