Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B-.

The Steelers bet big and early on Will Sheppard, 104 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Tuten falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick 21 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They barely believed it either: Omarion Hampton still on the board at No. 52. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick83 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at the 83rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
They let Dylan Fairchild come to them and pounced at slot 122. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick163 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Logan Brown at Round 5, Pick 24 is the proof. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick225 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
A running back of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick231 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
This one needs a full-page explanation: Will Sheppard in No. 231, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick247 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
They reached into another round for Xavier Truss, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
