Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB FutureC+
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B-.

It is a puzzling start. The Steelers had quarterback, edge rusher and other spots to solve and reached instead for Zach Frazier, an offensive lineman, at the Round 2 slot. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They are betting Barner proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 27th pick they get a blindside protector. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A want over a need in the 51st pick: Zach Frazier adds an offensive lineman while quarterback, edge rusher and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick71 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
They paid sticker price for Ja'Lynn Polk in Round 3, Pick 7, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They took Khyree Jackson at par in the 84th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick111 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Nothing to complain about; Cole Bishop went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
No edge and no loss on Tyler Davis in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick162 Rnd5 AJ Barner
They paid up for AJ Barner at pick 162 when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick195 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
No drama and no debate, Steele Chambers went about where he belonged in pick No. 195. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
