Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick 231 lands the Steelers a B, Higgins and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jay Higgins had no business being available in the 231st overall pick, and the Steelers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The Wedig pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 21 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick52 Rnd2 Trey Amos
By-the-book stuff, Trey Amos at slot 52 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the 77th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in No. 122 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick163 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
A running back of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 24 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Somehow Jay Higgins was still sitting there in pick No. 231, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
They reached into another round for Trey Wedig, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
