Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on Tuten: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Bhayshul Tuten, the No. 157 name on the board, stolen at No. 242. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They are betting Jackson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Isaiah Bond
In pick No. 25 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Dylan Fairchild
No drama and no debate, Dylan Fairchild went about where he belonged in the 57th pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
They will replay Jihaad Campbell at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at Round 4, Pick 25 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick158 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at slot 158 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick226 Rnd7 Giles Jackson
A real head-scratcher, Giles Jackson in the 226th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jaishawn Barham
The board fumbled Jaishawn Barham all the way to No. 233, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at pick 242 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
