Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers won the night they stopped Cowing from sliding. Grade: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jacob Cowing, the 178th overall pick, roughly 31 picks past where he belonged. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Steelers indulged a want in Frazier while a need in quarterback, safety and other spots stayed open. Reaching for Frazier left real value on the table behind him.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, safety and other spots to take Zach Frazier, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Nothing to complain about; Kris Abrams-Draine went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick100 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the 100th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick119 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
They took McKinnley Jackson at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at pick No. 139 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at No. 178 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick195 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
A straight-up fair deal on Steele Chambers at slot 195, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
The board fumbled Frank Gore Jr. all the way to the 245th pick, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
