Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The curious call sets the tone. With interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots still glaring, the Steelers used the 51st pick on Zach Frazier, an offensive lineman they were not exactly short of.

The Milton III reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In No. 20 they get a cornerstone up front. 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 interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots untouched.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the 84th pick is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick98 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James at pick 98 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Johnny Wilson. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick178 Rnd6 Kalen King
A conviction pick on Kalen King at Round 6, Pick 3 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick195 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in the 195th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
