Good, not great, for the Steelers: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Steelers started one anyway for JJ Pegues, 31 picks ahead of schedule.

However the rest shakes out, Tuten at that price is a win they earned. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 21st overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
The board had cheaper options than Jalen Milroe at the 83rd pick, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tory Horton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tory Horton in slot 123. The roster fit checks out.
Pick156 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A swing that ignored the value entirely, JJ Pegues well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick185 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
They barely believed it either: Bhayshul Tuten still on the board at the Round 6 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick229 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
They paid sticker price for Phil Mafah in pick No. 229, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
