Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
The Steelers drew a line under the quarterback search with Ward: D+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Ryan Fitzgerald tumbling to the Steelers in No. 229 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The process wobbled, and the D+ is where it lands.

If Jones Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Cam Ward gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, interior defensive lineman very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the Round 1 slot they get their guy under center for the next decade. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at pick 35 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick83 Rnd3 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at pick 121 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick161 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Barrett Carter in No. 161, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Le'Veon Moss
They barely believed it either: Le'Veon Moss still on the board at the 223rd overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald at pick No. 229 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
