Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B-.

The Steelers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Will Sheppard at pick 231 regardless, 122 picks early. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Mondon Jr.. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 21st pick they get a security blanket over the middle at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Alfred Collins. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at pick No. 83 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Circle this one: Quinshon Judkins at slot 122 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in Round 5, Pick 24 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225 Rnd7 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick231 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
This one needs a full-page explanation: Will Sheppard in Round 7, Pick 13, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick247 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris at slot 247 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
