Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Steelers to a C+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Thor Griffith; the Steelers did not wait, grabbing him 86 spots ahead at Round 7, Pick 14.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Judkins value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick74 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Quinshon Judkins for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick83 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in pick 83 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jacob Parrish. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick156 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
They paid up for Chase Lundt at No. 156 when waiting would have done the job. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick185 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West at the 185th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick229 Rnd7 John Williams
A big swing on John Williams at slot 229, well ahead of any board in the building. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick230 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They reached into another round for Thor Griffith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
