Heathbar230 DRAFTING FOR THESteelers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall

FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B-. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Steelers would have aced it. Quincy Riley at the 156th pick is 22 spots clear of where he belonged.
They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. On value alone, Judkins makes the weekend a net positive. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In the 21st pick they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick83
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
Steal is underselling it; Quinshon Judkins at slot 83 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick123
Rnd4
Hollin Pierce
They paid up for Hollin Pierce at the 123rd overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick156
Rnd5
Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick185
Rnd6
Nazir Stackhouse
A real head-scratcher, Nazir Stackhouse in pick 185 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick229
Rnd7
Theo Wease Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Theo Wease Jr. at Round 7, Pick 13, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
