Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesC- FutureC+
The Steelers landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Steelers took Xavier Truss at pick No. 185, roughly 111 spots before his name belonged. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Judkins.

The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
They took Walter Nolen at par in the 21st overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at pick No. 83 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Savion Williams
No drama and no debate, Savion Williams went about where he belonged in pick 90. The roster fit checks out.
Pick156 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
Fair-plus on O'Donnell Fortune, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick185 Rnd6 Xavier Truss
They reached a country mile for Xavier Truss at No. 185, and the board is aghast. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick229 Rnd7 John Williams
They left a pile of value on the table to take John Williams this early at the Round 7 slot. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
