Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- 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 51 on Zach Frazier while quarterback, edge rusher and other spots waited.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Wiley pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A surprising call. With quarterback, edge rusher and other spots still to address, they spent No. 51 on Zach Frazier, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick74 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
They took Ja'Lynn Polk at par in Round 3, Pick 10, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
No edge and no loss on Khyree Jackson in the 84th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A tidy little value on Cole Bishop in pick No. 109, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Davis at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in slot 138 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick178 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at pick 178 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They jumped the gun on Jared Wiley, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
