Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let Henderson fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somebody in Round 3, Pick 19 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Steelers sat still while TreVeyon Henderson, the No. 55 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the 21st pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick83 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Taking TreVeyon Henderson in No. 83 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo at pick 123 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 18 with a little surplus value in Luke Kandra. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Good price on Jack Kiser in slot 185, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jermari Harris. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
