Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureC
The Steelers lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

There is reaching, and then there is Xavier Truss at the Round 6 slot. The Steelers jumped the board by 111 and dared it to prove them wrong.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Grant.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 32 they get an anchor for the defensive front at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They did well to land Omarion Hampton in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They jumped the gun on Jayden Higgins, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick52 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Azareye'h Thomas. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick64 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at slot 64 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick156 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
A big swing on Vernon Broughton at the 156th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick185 Rnd6 Xavier Truss
They left a pile of value on the table to take Xavier Truss this early at pick No. 185. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick229 Rnd7 John Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for John Williams. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
