Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers won the night they stopped Judkins from sliding. Grade: B-.

When a board-topper like Quinshon Judkins slides to pick No. 154, you do not overthink it, and the Steelers did not. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Sheppard reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a potential shutdown corner. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in the 53rd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick120 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Nice patience on Smael Mondon Jr., who had no business lasting to slot 120. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick154 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at pick No. 154 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick223 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
Value said wait; Will Sheppard in No. 223 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick229 Rnd7 Giles Jackson
A real head-scratcher, Giles Jackson in the 229th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick242 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
They went early on Garrett Dellinger in pick 242, and the value did not follow. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
