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

The Steelers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 4, Pick 19 on Jordan Travis a full 53 spots early.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Odunze steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In slot 20 they get a difference-maker at receiver, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at pick No. 51 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A quiet steal in the 84th overall pick: Mike Sainristil for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick98 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
A reach on Cedric Gray in No. 98; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at pick 119 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick178 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
They reached into another round for Julian Pearl, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick195 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zion Tupuola-Fetui well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
