Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Judkins should have been long gone. The Steelers pounced, and earned a B-.

The board owed the Steelers one, and it paid up: Quinshon Judkins, the No. 68 name on the board, sitting there at slot 161 like a gift left on the doorstep.

The Truss pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In slot 21 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at pick No. 52 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick83 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
The board fumbled Omarion Hampton all the way to pick 83, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They robbed the room for Demetrius Knight Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
They will replay Quinshon Judkins at No. 161 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick223 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
A real head-scratcher, Shilo Sanders in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick229 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss in Round 7, Pick 13 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick245 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
A premium they did not need to pay, Garrett Dellinger a notch or two before his time. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
