Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB+
The Steelers robbed the room for Frazier. Final grade: B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Steelers were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The Frazier value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. With quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They will need Jackson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick48 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in pick No. 48 is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick80 Rnd3 Rod Moore
No edge and no loss on Rod Moore in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
The board had cheaper options than Khyree Jackson at the 113th pick, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick116 Rnd4 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.
Pick121 Rnd4 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at Round 4, Pick 21 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jamari Thrash
You do not let a wide receiver like Jamari Thrash reach pick 194 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick237 Rnd7 Chau Smith-Wade
Value with a capital V on Chau Smith-Wade in Round 7, Pick 17, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
