Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Steelers reached some 110 spots for Xavier Truss, and value like that does not grow back.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick50 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at No. 50 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at the 52nd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick83 Rnd3 Savion Williams
The board had cheaper options than Savion Williams at pick No. 83, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jacob Parrish
A big swing on Jacob Parrish at Round 3, Pick 28, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 Will Howard
They barely believed it either: Will Howard still on the board at pick 123. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick156 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Vernon Broughton this early at slot 156. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick185 Rnd6 Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick229 Rnd7 John Williams
John Williams at Round 7, Pick 13 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
