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

Call it larceny. Bhayshul Tuten sat on the board until pick 212, and the Steelers did not need to be asked twice.

The Thornton Jr. reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins slid further than he should have, and the 66th overall pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick83 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Devin Neal at the 83rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick101 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Somehow Donovan Jackson was still sitting there in pick 101, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick122 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They robbed the room for Andrew Mukuba here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Steal is underselling it; Jalen Milroe at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 133 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
They barely believed it either: Jeffrey Bassa still on the board at pick No. 163. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick212 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
Circle this one: Bhayshul Tuten at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick227 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at pick 227 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick231 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith at the 231st overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick247 Rnd7 Chimere Dike
They will replay Chimere Dike at the 247th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick256 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Ja'Quinden Jackson at No. 256 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
