Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers robbed the room for Tupuola-Fetui. Final grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Zion Tupuola-Fetui got past him. The Steelers do not have to explain a thing at slot 241. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. With interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them.

If Travis pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In No. 20 they get a press-man option on the boundary. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They jumped the gun on Zach Frazier, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick84 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Patrick Paul in Round 3, Pick 20 leaves interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots for later.
Pick119 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at slot 119 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at the 120th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick198 Rnd6 Javon Baker
The board fumbled Javon Baker all the way to the 198th pick, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick241 Rnd7 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
