Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesC FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Steelers, and a C+ to match.

The war room fell hard for Taulia Tagovailoa, and it showed at the Round 6 slot: 46 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

The Frazier pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots still on the board. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Hit on Jordan Morgan and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In slot 28 they get a building block for the line at fair value.
Pick52 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A want over a need in the 52nd pick: Zach Frazier adds an offensive lineman while interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Good price on Mike Sainristil in Round 3, Pick 20, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A premium they did not need to pay, Tommy Eichenberg a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121 Rnd4 Max Melton
Nice patience on Max Melton, who had no business lasting to the 121st overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick129 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Nothing to complain about; Justin Eboigbe went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
By-the-book stuff, Jaylen Wright at pick 159 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
They reached into another round for Taulia Tagovailoa, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick238 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
They paid up for Steele Chambers at the 238th pick when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
