Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesD FutureA
The Steelers won the night they stopped Hancock from sliding. Grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jordan Hancock, the No. 183 name on the board, stolen at pick 245. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Every board in the league had Slackman lower, and that gap is the story. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Somehow Tate Ratledge was still sitting there in pick No. 52, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
The board fumbled Jihaad Campbell all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick83 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at No. 83 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick103 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Gunnar Helm in Round 4, Pick 2, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at pick 121 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A conviction pick on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 161st overall pick that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
They reached into another round for Jalen Travis, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick229 Rnd7 Joey Slackman
Joey Slackman at slot 229 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at pick No. 245 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
