Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB FutureB
The Steelers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The war room fell hard for Jalen Coker, and it showed at the Round 6 slot: 49 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

Washington at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

It is not that Frazier is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the 32nd pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Zach Frazier adds an offensive lineman and leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots untouched.
Pick84 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A premium they did not need to pay, Brenden Rice a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98 Rnd3 Cam Hart
No edge and no loss on Cam Hart in pick 98; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Malik Washington
The board fumbled Malik Washington all the way to the 119th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
They jumped the gun on Luke McCaffrey, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick145 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker in slot 145 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick178 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zion Tupuola-Fetui in pick 178, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick189 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
By-the-book stuff, M.J. Devonshire at Round 6, Pick 14 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick195 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
They talked themselves into Keith Randolph Jr. at No. 195, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jalen Coker
Jalen Coker at the 203rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
