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

You could see the war room lean forward. Quinshon Judkins at pick No. 121 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They will need Jackson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with safety chief among the fixes.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In No. 21 they get a No. 1 receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Charles Grant
They left a pile of value on the table to take Charles Grant this early at the 52nd overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Somehow Jihaad Campbell was still sitting there in No. 83, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at Round 4, Pick 20 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at the 161st pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick223 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
This one needs a full-page explanation: Garrett Dellinger in pick 223, miles early. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick229 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
Steal is underselling it; Hunter Wohler at pick No. 229 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Giles Jackson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Giles Jackson well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
