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

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Steelers shredded theirs for Xavier Truss. He came off 115 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

Sanders at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 21 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
They talked themselves into Azareye'h Thomas at the 52nd pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
They will replay Jihaad Campbell at Round 3, Pick 19 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick161 Rnd5 Xavier Truss
They reached a country mile for Xavier Truss at No. 161, and the board is aghast. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick223 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
A straight-up fair deal on Miles Frazier at pick 223, value and slot in agreement. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick229 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in Round 7, Pick 13 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick245 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
They reached into another round for Will Sheppard, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
