Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Xavier Truss pick is the one that will follow the Steelers into the fall. They took him 131 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

That Taylor pick is the receipt they will wave around later. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In slot 21 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Taking Omarion Hampton in Round 2, Pick 20 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They paid sticker price for Donovan Jackson in the 83rd pick, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick122 Rnd4 Savion Williams
They barely believed it either: Savion Williams still on the board at pick 122. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163 Rnd5 Xavier Truss
A wild overpay on Xavier Truss in No. 163, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick225 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jalen Rivers
Jalen Rivers in the 231st overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter in pick 247 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
