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

The Steelers went off the board in a big way for Jahdae Barron, 39 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Frazier pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots still on the board. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The DeJean value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a lockdown presence outside, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Javon Foster
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Foster at the 48th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at slot 73 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick80 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Zach Frazier while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots sat open.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A conviction pick on Cedric Gray at the 116th pick that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
No drama and no debate, Jalen McMillan went about where he belonged in No. 121. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jahdae Barron
Value said wait; Jahdae Barron in pick 194 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick237 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in the 237th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
