Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureA
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B.

Nobody had Xavier Truss this high, and it is not close. The Steelers reached 127 spots to get him at No. 163. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Tuten falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They barely believed it either: Nick Emmanwori still on the board at Round 2, Pick 20. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick57 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They took Alfred Collins at par in pick No. 57, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick83 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in the 83rd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tory Horton
A slide stopped in pick 122, with Tory Horton worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick163 Rnd5 Xavier Truss
They reached into another round for Xavier Truss, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick225 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at slot 225 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in Round 7, Pick 11 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Will Sheppard. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick247 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
A clean, defensible pick in No. 247 with a little surplus value in Torricelli Simpkins III. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
