Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The needs board said one thing and the Steelers did another, using pick 52 on Zach Frazier while quarterback, edge rusher and other spots waited.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They will need Hart to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In No. 20 they get a building block for the line. More want than need.
Pick52 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Zach Frazier at offensive lineman with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick84 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick120 Rnd4 Cam Hart
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cam Hart well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A conviction pick on Cedric Gray at pick No. 121 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick198 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Josh Proctor. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Fair-plus on Jase McClellan, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
