Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B- to prove it.

There is reaching, and then there is Kevin Jennings at pick 161. The Steelers jumped the board by 84 and dared it to prove them wrong.

Henderson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In pick 21 they get a matchup problem out wide. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Trey Amos
By-the-book stuff, Trey Amos at pick No. 52 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick83 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick121 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
Circle this one: TreVeyon Henderson at slot 121 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Kevin Jennings
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kevin Jennings this early at the 161st pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at No. 223 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick229 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
A wild overpay on Xavier Truss in pick 229, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick245 Rnd7 Deion Burks
Value said wait; Deion Burks in the 245th overall pick says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
