Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Steelers: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Xavier Truss at slot 185, a reach of 111 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Getting Judkins where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In pick No. 32 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
Pick83 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at the 83rd overall pick is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
A slide stopped in the 123rd pick, with Anthony Belton worth more than the price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick134 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
A wild overpay on O'Donnell Fortune in slot 134, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
They reached into another round for Vernon Broughton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick185 Rnd6 Xavier Truss
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Xavier Truss well ahead of where he belonged. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick229 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Donovan Smith this early at pick 229. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
