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

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Steelers left edge rusher untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul.

The Judkins value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In slot 30 they get a centerfielder for the defense, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in No. 62 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick83 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins is a better player than the 83rd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick139 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough in pick No. 139 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaydon Blue
Jaydon Blue at the 173rd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick185 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at Round 6, Pick 9 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 6 slot with a little surplus value in Jack Nelson. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick206 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
A reasonable price with a little left over, Caleb Rogers in pick 206. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick229 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Cam Jackson at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
