Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Steelers for Tuten: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Bhayshul Tuten had no business being available in slot 225, and the Steelers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Alexander reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 21 they get a load in the middle. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
They paid sticker price for TreVeyon Henderson in the 52nd pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick83 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
This one needs a full-page explanation: Darius Alexander in No. 83, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick122 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Circle this one: Tyler Shough at the 163rd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick225 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at pick 225 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
They will replay Luke Lachey at slot 231 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick247 Rnd7 Kyle Williams
The board fumbled Kyle Williams all the way to Round 7, Pick 29, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
