Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Steelers a B-.

The Steelers did not so much draft Carson Beck as overpay for him, 30 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

On value alone, Golday makes the weekend a net positive. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In slot 21 they get a No. 1 receiver at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick53 Rnd2 Caleb Tiernan
A straight-up fair deal on Caleb Tiernan at the 53rd pick, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick76 Rnd3 Carson Beck
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Carson Beck. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday in No. 85 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Devin Moore
The board had Devin Moore higher than the 99th overall pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Justin Joly
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 121, where Justin Joly graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick135 Rnd4 Logan Jones
Good price on Logan Jones in Round 4, Pick 35, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick159 Rnd5 Louis Moore
Louis Moore at pick 159 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Terion Stewart
Nothing to complain about; Terion Stewart went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick214 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
No drama and no debate, Zxavian Harris went about where he belonged in the 214th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick224 Rnd7 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at the 224th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick237 Rnd7 Diego Pavia
By-the-book stuff, Diego Pavia at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
