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

The Steelers torched the value chart for Will Sheppard, taking him 104 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

Jackson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 21st pick they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tre Harris
By-the-book stuff, Tre Harris at Round 2, Pick 20 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick83 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at No. 83 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce is a better player than pick 122 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick163 Rnd5 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor in pick No. 163 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
They talked themselves into Xavier Truss at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick231 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
Will Sheppard in slot 231 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Ja'Quinden Jackson in Round 7, Pick 29, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
