Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Steelers for Giddens: A-.

The Steelers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and DJ Giddens fell into the Round 7 slot.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Every board in the league had Yurosek lower, and that gap is the story. The Steelers paired the rookies with proven help, DK Metcalf leading the way.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 22nd overall pick they get a disruptive interior force. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick83 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins slid further than he should have, and slot 83 is lovely value for the running back. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick101 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
By-the-book stuff, Malachi Moore at Round 3, Pick 37 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jordan Phillips at the Round 4 slot is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick140 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
The board fumbled Kyle McCord all the way to the 140th pick, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
They will replay Emery Jones Jr. at pick No. 163 for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick198 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Nohl Williams in pick 198, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick225 Rnd7 DJ Giddens
They barely believed it either: DJ Giddens still on the board at No. 225. It fills a real need, too.
Pick231 Rnd7 Cobee Bryant
You do not let a cornerback like Cobee Bryant reach the 231st overall pick and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
Akili Arnold in pick 246 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick247 Rnd7 Ben Yurosek
Ben Yurosek at slot 247 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
