Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The war room fell hard for Will Sheppard, and it showed at the 247th pick: 107 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

The Judkins pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 21st overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the 52nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick83 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in slot 83 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at No. 122 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick163 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in Round 5, Pick 24 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick225 Rnd7 Quincy Riley
They will replay Quincy Riley at pick No. 225 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
They talked themselves into Xavier Truss at slot 231, and the board did not agree. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Will Sheppard. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
