Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 185: the Steelers steal Tuten and grade out a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Bhayshul Tuten tumbling to the Steelers in Round 6, Pick 9 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes. The back end got a real overhaul.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A slide stopped in the 83rd overall pick, with Donovan Jackson worth more than the price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick123 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer slid further than he should have, and No. 123 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick156 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at slot 156 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick185 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at the 185th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
No edge and no loss on Desmond Watson in pick No. 229; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
