Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Steelers: C+.

Nobody else had Zach Frazier anywhere near pick 20. The Steelers did, by 39 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

Jackson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while interior defensive lineman, linebacker and other spots went begging.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Zach Frazier
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get protection for the quarterback, a steep price for the projection. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
A curious use of slot 51. Interior defensive lineman, linebacker and other spots needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Amarius Mims did not.
Pick84 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
A slide stopped in the 84th pick, with Xavier Legette worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick119 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in the 119th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick120 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Somehow Khyree Jackson was still sitting there in pick No. 120, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick178 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in pick 178 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jordan Travis
They will replay Jordan Travis at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
