Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B- to prove it.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Steelers would have aced it. Xavier Truss at No. 229 is 67 spots clear of where he belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The Higgins pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In No. 21 they get a ballhawk on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in pick No. 83 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tyler Shough
They reached a country mile for Tyler Shough at slot 123, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick156 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
They reached into another round for Vernon Broughton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick185 Rnd6 CJ West
No edge and no loss on CJ West in the 185th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Xavier Truss well ahead of where he belonged. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
