Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesD- FutureA+
The Steelers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Will Sheppard at pick 247, a reach of 107 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 52nd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick83 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Nothing to complain about; Darien Porter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Circle this one: Savion Williams at pick 116 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122 Rnd4 Charles Grant
The board fumbled Charles Grant all the way to pick No. 122, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick163 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at Round 5, Pick 24 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick231 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Xavier Truss. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick247 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Will Sheppard well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
