Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Steelers for Jones Jr.: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Emery Jones Jr., the 163rd pick, roughly 34 picks past where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 22nd pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They let Tyler Booker come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 20. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick83 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at slot 83 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick86 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
A slide stopped in pick No. 86, with Quinshon Judkins worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in No. 122 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick163 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
They will replay Emery Jones Jr. at the 163rd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
They took Jordan Hancock at par in pick 201, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cam Jackson. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
The board fumbled Jack Kiser all the way to pick 231, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick247 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
Brant Kuithe in pick No. 247 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
