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

It is a puzzling start. The Steelers had interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots to solve and reached instead for Zach Frazier, an offensive lineman, at the 52nd pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Getting Pratt where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 JC Latham
In No. 20 they get protection for the quarterback. More want than need.
Pick52 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 52 on Zach Frazier, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Good price on Mike Sainristil in Round 3, Pick 20, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Michael Pratt at the Round 4 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick120 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Darius Robinson at the 120th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick136 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in No. 136 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick241 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Blake Watson at slot 241 is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
