Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB+
The Steelers let Judkins fall into their laps, and walked away with a D.

The phones were a trap the Steelers kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. Cornelius has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The Judkins pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and safety is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 30 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in the 37th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick45 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Emeka Egbuka at the Round 2 slot is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick83 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in Round 3, Pick 19 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick109 Rnd4 Will Howard
The board had Will Howard higher than No. 109, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
A conviction pick on Jamaree Caldwell at pick 117 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
They paid sticker price for Cobee Bryant in the 123rd overall pick, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick156 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ajani Cornelius well ahead of where he belonged. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick169 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
No drama and no debate, DJ Giddens went about where he belonged in slot 169. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick185 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Good price on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 6, Pick 9, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick229 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
No edge and no loss on Cam Jackson in No. 229; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
