Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B-.

The Steelers did not so much draft Eyabi Okie-Anoma as overpay for him, 25 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. With quarterback, safety and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In No. 20 they get a building block for the line. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Zach Frazier while clear needs at quarterback, safety and other spots sat open.
Pick84 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at pick No. 84 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick119 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on McKinnley Jackson at the 119th pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick120 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They paid sticker price for Cedric Gray in slot 120, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick195 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
They let Cornelius Johnson come to them and pounced at Round 6, Pick 20. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
This one needs a full-page explanation: Eyabi Okie-Anoma in the 240th overall pick, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
