Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers land in the muddy middle: C+.

There is reaching, and then there is Tommy Eichenberg at pick No. 119. The Steelers jumped the board by 26 and dared it to prove them wrong. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Steelers indulged a want in Frazier while a need in quarterback, safety and other spots stayed open.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Washington. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a blindside protector. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Zach Frazier while clear needs at quarterback, safety and other spots sat open.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
They liked Jalen McMillan enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 84. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A reach for Maason Smith in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tommy Eichenberg. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick178 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire in No. 178 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick195 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Nice patience on Tahj Washington, who had no business lasting to the 195th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
