Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesA FutureB
McCarthy is the Steelers' new face under center. Grade: B.

The Steelers clearly saw something nobody else did in J.J. Weaver, taking him 196 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Whatever J.J. McCarthy becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They banked enough surplus on Rouse to cover a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in the 20th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick57 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
Value with a capital V on Roman Wilson in slot 57, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A big swing on Maason Smith at the 92nd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Curtis Jacobs
A real head-scratcher, Curtis Jacobs in pick No. 98 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A wild overpay on Justin Eboigbe in No. 119, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121 Rnd4 J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at pick 174 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick178 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
A slide stopped in slot 178, with Walter Rouse worth more than the price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick195 Rnd6 Delmar Glaze
A reasonable price with a little left over, Delmar Glaze in pick No. 195. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
