Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Larceny in slot 161 lands the Steelers a D+, Judkins and all.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Steelers would have aced it. Jamaree Caldwell at the Round 7 slot is 69 spots clear of where he belonged.

However the rest shakes out, Judkins at that price is a win they earned. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III at pick No. 21 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick30 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in No. 52 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick83 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker slipping to pick 83 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick161 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at pick No. 161 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
They talked themselves into Jamaree Caldwell at No. 223, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
You do not let an offensive lineman like Seth McLaughlin reach the 229th pick and blink. They did not. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick245 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
