Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B.

Some picks age like wine; Xavier Truss at Round 7, Pick 13 will need to, sitting 60 spots clear of his grade. No fireworks, but a solid B.

That Taylor pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 30th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at pick No. 52 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick56 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Benjamin Morrison at slot 56. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jalen Royals in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
A cornerback of that caliber at the 122nd pick is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick163 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
They paid sticker price for Ollie Gordon II in pick 163, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick225 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
The board had cheaper options than Miles Frazier at No. 225, and it noticed. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick231 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
This one needs a full-page explanation: Xavier Truss in pick No. 231, miles early. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick247 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
