Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureA
More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B to prove it.

The Xavier Truss selection is the head-turner. The Steelers reached 67 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick57 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
By-the-book stuff, Jayden Higgins at the 57th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick83 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at pick No. 83 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at Round 4, Pick 21 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick156 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
A big swing on Vernon Broughton at slot 156, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick185 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
A slide stopped in pick 185, with DJ Giddens worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick229 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
A wild overpay on Xavier Truss in the 229th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
