Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Steelers did exactly that with Tanner Mordecai in pick 238.

With interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front. More want than need.
Pick52 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A want over a need in slot 52: Zach Frazier adds an offensive lineman while interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick84 Rnd3 Josh Newton
Josh Newton in pick No. 84 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick120 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in pick 120 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the 121st pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jalen Green
Jalen Green at No. 198 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tanner Mordecai
Value said wait; Tanner Mordecai in slot 238 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
