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

The Steelers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Quinshon Judkins fell into slot 123.

For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 21 they get a load in the middle at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They read the board right and Jayden Higgins was the payoff at pick 83. It fills a real need, too.
Pick123 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Circle this one: Quinshon Judkins at the 123rd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick185 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ajani Cornelius at the 185th pick is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
