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

Some picks age like wine; Joe Milton III at slot 121 will need to, sitting 30 spots clear of his grade. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

The Frazier pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at safety, edge rusher and other spots. The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 21st pick they get a building block for the line. More want than need.
Pick53 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Zach Frazier adds an offensive lineman and leaves safety, edge rusher and other spots untouched.
Pick85 Rnd3 Tommy Eichenberg
A wild overpay on Tommy Eichenberg in Round 3, Pick 22, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick120 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Joe Milton III in pick No. 121, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick199 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
A tidy little value on De'Corian Clark in the 199th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick242 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
A big swing on DeMonte Capehart at No. 242, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
