Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B-.

The Steelers bet big and early on Will Sheppard, 129 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at pick No. 21 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick52 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick83 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They jumped the gun on Savion Williams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in pick 122 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in Round 5, Pick 24 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
Will Sheppard in slot 225 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick231 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Xavier Truss. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick247 Rnd7 Micah Morris
This one needs a full-page explanation: Micah Morris in pick No. 247, miles early. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
