Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let Henderson fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The Steelers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and TreVeyon Henderson fell into the Round 4 slot. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The cost of the Burks reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
They paid sticker price for Walter Nolen in the Round 1 slot, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick52 Rnd2 Trey Amos
No edge and no loss on Trey Amos in pick No. 52; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A quiet steal in pick 83: Jayden Higgins for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick121 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
They will replay TreVeyon Henderson at slot 121 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Upton Stout
They reached a country mile for Upton Stout at the 161st overall pick, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223 Rnd7 Deion Burks
They talked themselves into Deion Burks at No. 223, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in the 229th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
A slide stopped in Round 7, Pick 29, with Jackson Hawes worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
