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

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named safety, a need the Steelers walked right past. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the 20th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They took Zach Frazier at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton in slot 84 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Maason Smith. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
They did well to land Spencer Rattler in No. 119, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
