Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureA+
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Steelers.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Will Sheppard at pick No. 247, a reach of 62 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Getting Judkins 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. The Pete Werner pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They robbed the room for Malaki Starks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick83 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
They took Denzel Burke at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at No. 111 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick122 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
A quiet steal in the 122nd pick: Smael Mondon Jr. for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jordan Hancock
They talked themselves into Jordan Hancock at Round 5, Pick 26, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick225 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Xavier Truss well ahead of where he belonged. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick231 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Thor Griffith this early at No. 231. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
A wild overpay on Will Sheppard in slot 247, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
