Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Steelers walked right past. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Frazier reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. On the needs board they went 3 of 9, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In slot 20 they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick52 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick103 Rnd4 DJ James
A premium they did not need to pay, DJ James a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick119 Rnd4 Malik Washington
Malik Washington at pick 119 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at the 120th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
