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

The board owed the Steelers one, and it paid up: Tyrone Tracy Jr., the No. 206 name on the board, sitting there at pick 238 like a gift left on the doorstep.

The Hartman reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Frazier pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots still on the board. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick52 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Zach Frazier at offensive lineman with interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots open.
Pick84 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at slot 84 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick120 Rnd4 Max Melton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Max Melton at Round 4, Pick 20. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in No. 121 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick198 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Sam Hartman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
They will replay Tyrone Tracy Jr. at the 238th pick for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
