Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Steelers let Helm fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The Steelers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Gunnar Helm fell into pick No. 123. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant slid further than he should have, and the Round 1 slot is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick56 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
They took Azareye'h Thomas at par in the 56th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick83 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at pick 83 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick123 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
Steal is underselling it; Gunnar Helm at pick No. 123 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick156 Rnd5 Ty Hamilton
They will replay Ty Hamilton at Round 5, Pick 18 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 185th pick squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
They paid sticker price for Carson Vinson in slot 229, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
