A solid, sensible weekend for the Steelers: B-.

Of all the ways to open, the Steelers chose the head-scratcher, spending pick No. 60 on Zach Frazier with quarterback, safety and other spots still wide open.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Every board in the league had Smith lower, and that gap is the story. They went 3 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick 28 they get a blindside protector. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in the 51st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick60 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 60 on Zach Frazier with quarterback, safety and other spots unsolved.
Pick84 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in the 84th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith in the Round 3 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
