Draft Grade — Steelers

Grand theft in pick 223: the Steelers steal Simon and grade out a B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Cody Simon at slot 223 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The Wedig pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: safety settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III in Round 2, Pick 20 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick83 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Taking Kaleb Johnson in slot 83 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121 Rnd4 Hayden Conner
They reached into another round for Hayden Conner, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick161 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
They will replay Quinshon Judkins at the 161st overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick223 Rnd7 Cody Simon
You do not let a linebacker like Cody Simon reach pick 223 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jordan Hancock in No. 229, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
A real head-scratcher, Trey Wedig in the 245th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
