Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let Knight Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Demetrius Knight Jr., the No. 60 name on the board, stolen at pick 161.

The Truss 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: interior defensive lineman settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at the 52nd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick83 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
They liked Maxwell Hairston enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 83. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
They will replay Quinshon Judkins at the 121st overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick161 Rnd5 Demetrius Knight Jr.
The board fumbled Demetrius Knight Jr. all the way to slot 161, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick223 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
They talked themselves into Xavier Truss at pick 223, and the board did not agree. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick229 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
A big swing on Garrett Dellinger at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick245 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
You do not let a running back like Raheim Sanders reach No. 245 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
