Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Steelers did not so much draft MJ Sherman as overpay for him, 40 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. With linebacker, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick 20 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. More want than need.
Pick55 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kris Jenkins at the Round 2 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
A surprising call. With linebacker, running back and other spots still to address, they spent No. 66 on Zach Frazier, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
They paid sticker price for Jarrian Jones in the 119th pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick138 Rnd5 James Williams
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 138, where James Williams graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick198 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
No drama and no debate, Gabe Hall went about where he belonged in slot 198. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick210 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Good price on Sam Hartman in the 210th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick241 Rnd7 MJ Sherman
MJ Sherman at the 241st overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster logic is harder to follow.
