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

Hard to follow the map here. The Steelers bypassed quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Zach Frazier at pick 51, a spot they had covered.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Every board in the league had Frazier lower, and that gap is the story. The roster is better shaped than it was, with safety chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 20th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Zach Frazier adds an offensive lineman and leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots untouched.
Pick84 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
No drama and no debate, Khyree Jackson went about where he belonged in pick 84. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick118 Rnd4 James Williams
By-the-book stuff, James Williams at the 118th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Tyrone Tracy Jr. at Round 4, Pick 19, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick194 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cornelius Johnson in the Round 6 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick240 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
The board had cheaper options than Edefuan Ulofoshio at pick No. 240, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
