Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesD FutureB-
The Steelers robbed the room for Giddens. Final grade: C+.

The Steelers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: DJ Giddens, the No. 165 name on the board, in No. 216.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

If Smith pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Hit on Kenneth Grant and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
The board fumbled Quinshon Judkins all the way to No. 83, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick107 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in the 107th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Somehow Tez Johnson was still sitting there in pick No. 126, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick142 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mello Dotson in the 142nd pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick162 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at pick 162 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick192 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in slot 192 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
You do not let a running back like DJ Giddens reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick223 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith at No. 223 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick229 Rnd7 Karene Reid
Karene Reid at Round 7, Pick 13 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick245 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
A safety of that caliber at the 245th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
