Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureA
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and Judkins: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Steelers were there to profit. Quinshon Judkins, the No. 67 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 161. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The cost of the Conner reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
No drama and no debate, Alfred Collins went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick57 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
A quiet steal in the 57th pick: Matthew Golden for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at No. 83 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121 Rnd4 Hayden Conner
They talked themselves into Hayden Conner at pick No. 121, and the board did not agree. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick161 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
They robbed the room for Quinshon Judkins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick223 Rnd7 Lander Barton
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 223 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at the 229th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jalen Rivers
A real head-scratcher, Jalen Rivers in pick 245 is miles ahead of his ranking. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
