Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Steelers a B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Steelers, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

Limmer has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Burton.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. With quarterback, edge rusher and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at Round 1, Pick 27 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Legette at pick No. 51, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick84 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in pick 84 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They paid sticker price for Khyree Jackson in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton in the 98th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick119 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
They paid a round early for Leonard Taylor III in slot 119, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick125 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
A surprising call. With quarterback, edge rusher and other spots still to address, they spent No. 125 on Beaux Limmer, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick146 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Nothing to complain about; Christian Jones went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
