Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on Judkins: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Quinshon Judkins, slot 226, roughly 153 picks past where he belonged.

If Jackson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams in the Round 1 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick57 Rnd2 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in the 57th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
They liked Smael Mondon Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 89. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at pick 126 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick158 Rnd5 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. at No. 158 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226 Rnd7 Quinshon Judkins
The board fumbled Quinshon Judkins all the way to the 226th overall pick, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick233 Rnd7 Giles Jackson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Giles Jackson this early at Round 7, Pick 17. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick242 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
A reach for Garrett Dellinger in pick No. 242; a little patience would have been rewarded. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
