Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and Brooks: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Tahj Brooks slide, and the Steelers were the ones holding the card at the 229th overall pick. Highway robbery.

If Watson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 30th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Quinshon Judkins
They paid sticker price for Quinshon Judkins in pick 62, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick83 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A premium they did not need to pay, Charles Grant a notch or two before his time. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick123 Rnd4 Will Howard
Will Howard at No. 123 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick132 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in the 132nd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick156 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
No drama and no debate, Tommi Hill went about where he belonged in slot 156. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick185 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 6, Pick 9 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick206 Rnd6 Desmond Watson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Desmond Watson this early at the Round 6 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick229 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at pick No. 229 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
