Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Steelers a B+.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Steelers did exactly that with Thor Griffith in the Round 7 slot.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

They banked enough surplus on Slater to cover a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get an anchor for the defensive front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52 Rnd2 Trey Amos
They paid sticker price for Trey Amos in the 52nd overall pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick83 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins is a better player than No. 83 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at the 122nd pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
Taking Jackson Slater in pick 163 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick192 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board fumbled Dont'e Thornton Jr. all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker at the 225th pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick231 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
The board had Trevor Etienne higher than pick 231, and the running back fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick247 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They talked themselves into Thor Griffith at the 247th overall pick, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
