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

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Steelers took Xavier Truss a full 66 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. That Gordon II pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In No. 30 they get a centerfielder for the defense, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A tidy little value on Alfred Collins in the 62nd overall pick, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick83 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They went early on Savion Williams in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in the 123rd pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick156 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at pick No. 156 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick185 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Value with a capital V on Ollie Gordon II in slot 185, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick229 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss in slot 229 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
