Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedC+ TradesB- FutureC+
The Steelers robbed the room for King. Final grade: B-.

The Steelers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Kalen King fell into the 178th pick. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They will need Gore Jr. to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Frazier pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still on the board.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. Need was not the driver here.
Pick41 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Zach Frazier in pick 41 leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
The board had Mike Sainristil higher than the 84th pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Javon Baker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Javon Baker in Round 3, Pick 35. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in slot 119 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick178 Rnd6 Kalen King
Steal is underselling it; Kalen King at the 178th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick195 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Value said wait; Frank Gore Jr. in pick No. 195 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick256 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones in No. 256 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick257 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight at Round 7, Pick 39 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
