Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

Nobody else had Xavier Truss anywhere near pick No. 231. The Steelers did, by 60 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Landing Taylor that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 21 they get an anchor for the defensive front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
A conviction pick on Azareye'h Thomas at the Round 2 slot that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They went early on Savion Williams in pick No. 83, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick122 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Donovan Jackson in pick 122, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick163 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders slipping to the 163rd overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Circle this one: Jordan Hancock at the 225th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss at slot 231 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick247 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
They barely believed it either: Roc Taylor still on the board at pick No. 247. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
