Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Steelers a B-.

The Steelers put a flag in the ground for Thor Griffith, 69 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Judkins value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick 21 they get a red-zone target to build around. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison in No. 52 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick83 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Steal is underselling it; Elic Ayomanor at the 83rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick122 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Somehow Quinshon Judkins was still sitting there in slot 122, and they pounced on premier running back value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick163 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
They barely believed it either: Anthony Belton still on the board at pick No. 163. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick225 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at pick No. 231 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247 Rnd7 Joey Slackman
They talked themselves into Joey Slackman at No. 247, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
