Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on Dial: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Marcellas Dial slide, and the Steelers were the ones holding the card at pick No. 238. Highway robbery.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They will need Frazier 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.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 20th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at slot 52 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick84 Rnd3 Junior Colson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Junior Colson in pick No. 84. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith in Round 4, Pick 20 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick121 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III slipping to No. 121 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick198 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Curtis Jacobs at the 198th overall pick is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 Marcellas Dial
The board fumbled Marcellas Dial all the way to pick 238, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
