Grand theft in slot 161: the Steelers steal Judkins and grade out a D-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Steelers spent pick No. 223 on Will Sheppard, a name the board had a full 83 spots lower. Put together, it is a D-.

Landing Judkins that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52 Rnd2 Darien Porter
They reached a country mile for Darien Porter at Round 2, Pick 20, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick83 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at No. 83 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in pick No. 121 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick161 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
You do not let a running back like Quinshon Judkins reach pick 161 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
Will Sheppard in the 223rd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick229 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
A big swing on Garrett Dellinger at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick243 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
Trey Wedig at No. 243 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
