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

The Steelers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Bhayshul Tuten at No. 123 regardless, 30 picks early. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Getting Mickens where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 21 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick83 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick123 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
Value said wait; Bhayshul Tuten in pick No. 123 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick156 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough is a better player than the 156th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at No. 185 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick229 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
A slide stopped in pick 229, with R.J. Mickens worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
