Overall B-

The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on Stutsman: B-.

The board owed the Steelers one, and it paid up: Danny Stutsman, the No. 85 name on the board, sitting there at the 161st overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

Reaching for Wedig left real value on the table behind him. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
A conviction pick on Denzel Burke at No. 52 that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker slid further than he should have, and the 83rd pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick121 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
You do not let a linebacker like Danny Stutsman reach pick No. 161 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker in the 223rd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick229 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
They talked themselves into Trey Wedig at slot 229, and the board did not agree. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick245 Rnd7 Deion Burks
Deion Burks at pick 245 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
