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, 107 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Sanders steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the 52nd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They paid sticker price for Donovan Jackson in the 83rd pick, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick122 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Taking Kevin Winston Jr. in No. 122 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at slot 163 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Steal is underselling it; Raheim Sanders at pick 225 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
This one needs a full-page explanation: Xavier Truss in the Round 7 slot, miles early. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick247 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
A wild overpay on Will Sheppard in pick 247, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
