Grade the Steelers 2nd-round selection of DT Keeanu Benton

The Pittsburgh Steelers have used two of their three picks in the 2023 NFL draft to add legitimate stars along either side of the line of scrimmage. First, the Steelers took Georgia offensive tackle Broderick and in the second round went with massive Wisconsin nose tackle Keeanu Benton.

The pick of Benton is a no-brainer. Too many times last season we saw the Steelers defensive line run out of gas down the stretch of games. Benton is a 310-pound anchor in the middle of the defensive line with surprising quickness and burst.

For us, we give this pick an easy A. Benton is going to fit right in with this defensive line rotation and adds an element of size and power this group was lacking.

Cast your vote and grade the Benton pick.
