Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB- TradesD FutureA+
Thornton Jr. should have been long gone. The Steelers pounced, and earned a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Dont'e Thornton Jr. got past him. The Steelers do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 247. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Every board in the league had Truss lower, and that gap is the story. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick83 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at the 83rd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick117 Rnd4 Savion Williams
You do not let a wide receiver like Savion Williams reach pick No. 117 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at Round 4, Pick 21 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
A wild overpay on Jack Nelson in No. 149, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick163 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Taking Pat Bryant in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
They talked themselves into Xavier Truss at pick 225, and the board did not agree. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick231 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They reached a country mile for Thor Griffith at slot 231, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick244 Rnd7 Joey Slackman
A real head-scratcher, Joey Slackman in the 244th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick247 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They robbed the room for Dont'e Thornton Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
