Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Steelers this weekend: B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jacob Parrish; the Steelers did not wait, grabbing him 38 spots ahead at pick No. 83.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Nick Bolton gives the group a proven body among the projects. On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In slot 31 they get an anchor for the defensive front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Quinshon Judkins
A straight-up fair deal on Quinshon Judkins at No. 63, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jacob Parrish
A wild overpay on Jacob Parrish in the 83rd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
They paid up for Hollin Pierce at pick 123 when waiting would have done the job. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick156 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Vernon Broughton. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick185 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They paid sticker price for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 6, Pick 9, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick229 Rnd7 John Williams
John Williams in slot 229 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
