Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesC+ FutureC+
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Steelers get a C+.

The Steelers bet big and early on Frank Gore Jr., 29 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. It is not that Frazier is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The Donte Jackson pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

So much rides on Amarius Mims that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 20th overall pick they get a building block for the line. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 2, Pick 3 on Zach Frazier with safety, edge rusher and other spots unsolved.
Pick84 Rnd3 Javon Baker
Javon Baker in slot 84 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick119 Rnd4 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick120 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on McKinnley Jackson at the 120th pick, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick178 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at No. 178 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick195 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A big swing on Frank Gore Jr. at pick No. 195, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
