Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

Nobody had Xavier Truss this high, and it is not close. The Steelers reached 74 spots to get him at No. 231. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

However the rest shakes out, Tuten at that price is a win they earned. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick 21 they get a matchup weapon at tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at pick No. 52 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 83rd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Somehow Ozzy Trapilo was still sitting there in slot 122, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick163 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
A reach on Dorian Strong in No. 163; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick225 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
A wild overpay on Xavier Truss in the 231st overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
They will replay Jordan Hancock at No. 247 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
