Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Steelers did exactly that with Bhayshul Tuten in the 123rd overall pick. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. That Lundt pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 21st overall pick they get a load in the middle. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A premium they did not need to pay, Savion Williams a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Bhayshul Tuten. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick156 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They reached into another round for JJ Pegues, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick185 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt slid further than he should have, and No. 185 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick229 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Good price on Phil Mafah in slot 229, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
