Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Steelers put a flag in the ground for Jalen Travis, 52 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. However the rest shakes out, Judkins at that price is a win they earned.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
The board had Quinshon Judkins higher than Round 3, Pick 19, and the running back fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at No. 124 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick156 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Nice patience on Tyler Shough, who had no business lasting to the 156th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick185 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
A wild overpay on R.J. Mickens in pick 185, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley in slot 229 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis in Round 7, Pick 21 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
