Your Depot After Dark for April 28.
STEELERS ACE DRAFT
We have seen several analysts’ draft grades come through over the course of the last day since the 2024 NFL Draft ended. They have all been extremely positive for the Steelers, and rightfully so. The intersection of need and value lined up perfectly throughout much of the draft and that ultimately led to a high GPA on when it comes to draft grades.
René Bugner compiled all of the draft grades on X from major media outlets and compiled them in ranked order by GPA, and the consensus shows that the Steelers had the best draft of any team.
WVU COACH CONGRATULATES FRAZIER
The Steelers’ new center Zach Frazier won’t have to travel very far from home to get to his new place of work. He was the perfect intersection of need and value in the draft, and should be able to make an immediate impact on the Steelers’ offense.
His head coach at WVU, Neal Brown, posted a congratulatory message on X. Frazier was an immediate starter as a freshman and became a three-time team captain as he helped turn the program around.
“You made an incredible impact on our program, you changed our course,” Brown said.
STEELERS WR DRAFT HISTORY
Over the years the Steelers have built up quite the reputation for drafting wide receivers. Rarely spending a first-round pick on one, they have still managed to find several difference makers in the mid-to-late rounds. They are hoping to do the same this year with Roman Wilson, who they drafted with their first third-round pick at No. 84 overall.
Since 2000, all but three or four of the drafted receivers have worked out pretty well.
