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

Call it larceny. Quinshon Judkins sat on the board until the 123rd overall pick, and the Steelers did not need to be asked twice. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Every board in the league had Riley lower, and that gap is the story. They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 21st pick they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
They jumped the gun on Jalen Milroe, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Somehow Quinshon Judkins was still sitting there in slot 123, and they pounced on premier running back value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton is a better player than No. 125 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick156 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Quincy Riley. The roster fit checks out.
Pick185 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
They reached into another round for Nazir Stackhouse, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ricky White III at Round 7, Pick 13. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
