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

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Steelers started one anyway for Xavier Truss, 142 picks ahead of schedule. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

On value alone, Marshall Jr. makes the weekend a net positive. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 21 they get an anchor for the defensive front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
A slide stopped in pick 52, with Benjamin Morrison worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Jack Bech at the 83rd pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ollie Gordon II
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ollie Gordon II in the 122nd overall pick, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163 Rnd5 Xavier Truss
They left a pile of value on the table to take Xavier Truss this early at the Round 5 slot. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick225 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
They reached into another round for Will Sheppard, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. at the 231st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick247 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris at the 247th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
