Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B-.

The Steelers spent real capital to be 74 picks early on Xavier Truss, and the board is going to hold them to it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

That Thornton Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide, outstanding value to boot.
Pick52 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 52nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick83 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at pick 83 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the 122nd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jordan Hancock
A real head-scratcher, Jordan Hancock in Round 5, Pick 24 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Circle this one: Bhayshul Tuten at pick No. 225 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick231 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
This one needs a full-page explanation: Xavier Truss in pick 231, miles early. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 247 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
