Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on Mondon Jr.: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Smael Mondon Jr. at pick No. 161 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The Thomas reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 21 they get an anchor for the defensive front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
A big swing on Azareye'h Thomas at the 52nd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick83 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Value with a capital V on Andrew Mukuba in No. 83, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
They barely believed it either: Quinshon Judkins still on the board at the Round 4 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick161 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 5, Pick 24 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick223 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
A real head-scratcher, Xavier Truss in pick 223 is miles ahead of his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick229 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
They reached a country mile for Garrett Dellinger at the 229th pick, and the board is aghast. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick245 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They reached into another round for Thor Griffith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
