Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Steelers won the night they stopped Tuten from sliding. Grade: B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Bhayshul Tuten, the 223rd overall pick, roughly 59 picks past where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The Caldwell reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The veteran additions, Garrett Wilson chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Deone Walker
They paid up for Deone Walker at slot 52 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick83 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Circle this one: Xavier Watts at No. 83 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in pick No. 87 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick161 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
They talked themselves into Willie Lampkin at the 161st overall pick, and the board did not agree. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick223 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at pick 223 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at Round 7, Pick 29 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
