Draft Grade — Steelers

ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers won the night they stopped Rosemy-Jacksaint from sliding. Grade: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint tumbling to the Steelers in pick 238 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The Steelers indulged a want in Frazier while a need in interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots stayed open. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They are betting Pratt proves the room right and everyone else wrong. On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 JC Latham
In slot 20 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A want over a need in the 51st overall pick: Zach Frazier adds an offensive lineman while interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick84 Rnd3 DJ James
By-the-book stuff, DJ James at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick120 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
The board had cheaper options than Michael Pratt at the 120th pick, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick121 Rnd4 Andru Phillips
Nothing to complain about; Andru Phillips went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick197 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Curtis Jacobs. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
You do not let a wide receiver like Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint reach Round 7, Pick 18 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
