Draft Grade — Steelers

ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Steelers: B-.

The Steelers spent real capital to be 107 picks early on Will Sheppard, and the board is going to hold them to it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hancock. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
A reach on Jalen Royals in the 52nd overall pick; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick83 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A reasonable price with a little left over, Darien Porter in slot 83. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at No. 122 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick163 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
They did well to land Raheim Sanders in pick No. 163, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick225 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
They talked themselves into Xavier Truss at pick 225, and the board did not agree. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
A safety of that caliber at the 231st pick is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick247 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
Will Sheppard at the 247th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
