Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B-.

For all the boxes ticked, the Steelers skipped the loudest one: interior defensive lineman is exactly as bare as it was. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Higgins has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In No. 21 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
A straight-up fair deal on Ozzy Trapilo at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick123 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
A tidy little value on Kyle McCord in Round 4, Pick 21, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick156 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in the 156th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
They paid up for Jay Higgins at slot 185 when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick229 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
A reach for Mac McWilliams in pick No. 229; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
