Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Cooper should have been long gone. The Steelers pounced, and earned a B.

When a board-topper like Tyler Cooper slides to slot 229, you do not overthink it, and the Steelers did not. No fireworks, but a solid B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 21st pick they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Steal is underselling it; Quinshon Judkins at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
They took Jacob Parrish at par in pick No. 123, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick156 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
You do not let a quarterback like Tyler Shough reach the 156th overall pick and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
Somehow Chase Lundt was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 9, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick229 Rnd7 Tyler Cooper
Tyler Cooper at No. 229 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
