Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Steelers a B-.

Nobody had Xavier Truss this high, and it is not close. The Steelers reached 67 spots to get him at pick No. 229.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 3 of 9 of the wish list covered.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in No. 83 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
They reached a country mile for Bhayshul Tuten at slot 123, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick156 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
A real head-scratcher, Vernon Broughton in Round 5, Pick 18 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick185 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West in pick 185 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick229 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss at pick No. 229 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
