Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let Tuten fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Bhayshul Tuten slide, and the Steelers were the ones holding the card at slot 185. Highway robbery.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If Williams pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a disruptive interior force. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick83 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A reach for Savion Williams in pick 83; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at pick No. 123 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick156 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Circle this one: Hollin Pierce at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick185 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
The board fumbled Bhayshul Tuten all the way to the 185th overall pick, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jermari Harris. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
