Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Some picks age like wine; Xavier Truss at pick 229 will need to, sitting 66 spots clear of his grade. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

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

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 30 they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jayden Higgins. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick83 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in pick 83 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick123 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton slid further than he should have, and the 123rd overall pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick156 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Value said wait; Vernon Broughton in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jaydon Blue
They read the board right and Jaydon Blue was the payoff at slot 185. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
A big swing on Xavier Truss at Round 7, Pick 13, well ahead of any board in the building. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
