Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureD-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Steelers for Proctor: B-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Steelers fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Proctor. The Frazier pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots still on the board.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 20th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line. Need was not the driver here.
Pick32 Rnd1 Ladd McConkey
In pick No. 32 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A curious use of the 51st pick. Quarterback, edge rusher and other spots needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Zach Frazier did not.
Pick64 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Good price on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in No. 64, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick111 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Christian Mahogany at offensive lineman with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick120 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
A tidy little value on Mekhi Wingo in Round 4, Pick 20, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick121 Rnd4 Andru Phillips
Nothing to complain about; Andru Phillips went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson at Round 6, Pick 22 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Josh Proctor in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
