Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Steelers: B-.

The Steelers went off the board in a big way for Xavier Truss, 126 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. They banked enough surplus on Henderson to cover a lot of smaller sins.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In the 30th pick they get a disruptive interior force. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A slide stopped in slot 62, with TreVeyon Henderson worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick83 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A reach for Savion Williams in the 83rd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at pick 123 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick156 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They reached into another round for JJ Pegues, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick173 Rnd5 Xavier Truss
This one needs a full-page explanation: Xavier Truss in No. 173, miles early. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick185 Rnd6 John Williams
John Williams at pick No. 185 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick229 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
Robert Longerbeam in the 229th pick is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
