Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 119th overall pick: the Steelers steal Legette and grade out a B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Steelers watched Xavier Legette slide 47 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Steelers indulged a want in Frazier while a need in quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open. They are betting Edwards proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 JC Latham
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a blindside protector at fair value. 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, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick84 Rnd3 Kamari Lassiter
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Kamari Lassiter in the 84th pick, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119 Rnd4 Xavier Legette
They robbed the room for Xavier Legette here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick120 Rnd4 James Williams
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on James Williams. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick178 Rnd6 Daijun Edwards
They liked Daijun Edwards enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 178. It fills a real need, too.
Pick195 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tip Reiman at slot 195. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
