Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

The Steelers torched the value chart for Josh Proctor, taking him 58 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots went begging. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick No. 16 they get a building block for the line. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at No. 48 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick80 Rnd3 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.
Pick116 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
The board had cheaper options than Khyree Jackson at Round 4, Pick 16, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121 Rnd4 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick194 Rnd6 Ricky Pearsall
They paid sticker price for Ricky Pearsall in pick 194, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick237 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at the 237th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
