Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Steelers spent real capital to be 62 picks early on Will Sheppard, and the board is going to hold them to it.

Judkins at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 21st overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide, a steep price for the projection.
Pick52 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at pick No. 52 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick83 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
They barely believed it either: Xavier Watts still on the board at Round 3, Pick 19. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick122 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
The board fumbled Quinshon Judkins all the way to the 122nd pick, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick225 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss at No. 225 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick231 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
They did well to land Miles Frazier in the Round 7 slot, just ahead of his grade. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick247 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
Will Sheppard in the 247th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
