Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesC- FutureA+
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Some picks age like wine; Xavier Truss at pick No. 168 will need to, sitting 113 spots clear of his grade. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

On value alone, Tuten makes the weekend a net positive. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Adding Terence Steele by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Alfred Collins. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick83 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
Taking Malaki Starks in the 83rd overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick121 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Somehow Quinshon Judkins was still sitting there in slot 121, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
They robbed the room for Smael Mondon Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jordan Hancock
They talked themselves into Jordan Hancock at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick168 Rnd5 Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss at Round 5, Pick 31 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick223 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
Will Sheppard in Round 7, Pick 7 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick229 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
They paid sticker price for Miles Frazier in the 229th pick, and that is fine. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick245 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in No. 245 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
