Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureA
A solid, sensible weekend for the Steelers: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Steelers spent the 231st pick on Will Sheppard, a name most had 78 spots down the list. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Getting Mondon Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They barely believed it either: Tyler Warren still on the board at the 52nd overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick57 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Alfred Collins. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick83 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Taking Xavier Watts in the 83rd pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick122 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
They robbed the room for Quinshon Judkins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jordan Hancock
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Hancock. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick164 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss at pick No. 225 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick231 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
This one needs a full-page explanation: Will Sheppard in Round 7, Pick 15, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Value said wait; Garrett Dellinger in the 247th pick says they were not listening. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
