Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesB FutureA+
The Steelers robbed the room for Tuten. Final grade: B.

The board owed the Steelers one, and it paid up: Bhayshul Tuten, the No. 156 name on the board, sitting there at slot 245 like a gift left on the doorstep. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Reaching for Griffith left real value on the table behind him. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at pick No. 52 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick83 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick121 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
No edge and no loss on Darius Alexander in slot 121; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick161 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra in Round 5, Pick 24 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick223 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A real head-scratcher, Thor Griffith in the 223rd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
They left a pile of value on the table to take Xavier Truss this early at the 229th pick. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick245 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
They robbed the room for Bhayshul Tuten here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
