Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Steelers: B-.

Of all the ways to open, the Steelers chose the head-scratcher, spending the Round 2 slot on Zach Frazier with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots still wide open. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They are betting Proctor proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 JC Latham
In slot 20 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Zach Frazier in pick No. 51 leaves quarterback, edge rusher and other spots for later.
Pick84 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at slot 84 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cedric Gray. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at the 121st pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
A conviction pick on Josh Proctor at the Round 6 slot that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tayvion Robinson
Tayvion Robinson in the 238th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
