Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 225th overall pick lands the Steelers a B, Tuten and all.

The board owed the Steelers one, and it paid up: Bhayshul Tuten, the No. 150 name on the board, sitting there at Round 7, Pick 7 like a gift left on the doorstep. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 21 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tre Harris
By-the-book stuff, Tre Harris at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
They let Maxwell Hairston come to them and pounced at slot 83. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick122 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in Round 4, Pick 21 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kobe King
They will replay Kobe King at the 163rd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick225 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Bhayshul Tuten in No. 225, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231 Rnd7 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
Taking KeAndre Lambert-Smith in the 231st pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
The board fumbled Jermari Harris all the way to pick No. 247, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
