Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B-.

Everything else got attention, and quarterback got none. That is a strange way for the Steelers to leave a draft. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

On value alone, Judkins makes the weekend a net positive. The Rogers reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
They paid sticker price for Walter Nolen in the 21st pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick83 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at Round 3, Pick 19 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips slid further than he should have, and No. 123 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick156 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
A slide stopped in pick No. 156, with Hollin Pierce worth more than the price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick185 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Caleb Rogers. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick229 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A reach on Cam Jackson in the Round 7 slot; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
