Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB
Carr is the Steelers' new face under center. Grade: B.

The search is over. The Steelers handed the keys to CJ Carr, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They will need Brown to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The Johnson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 CJ Carr
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a passer to set the clock by. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Tae Johnson
Somehow Tae Johnson was still sitting there in pick No. 58, and they pounced on premier safety value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76 Rnd3 Ben Roberts
Ben Roberts at pick 76 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick85 Rnd3 Nyck Harbor
No edge and no loss on Nyck Harbor in the 85th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jayden Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jayden Jackson. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick121 Rnd4 Ashton Hampton
Ashton Hampton at the 121st overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick135 Rnd4 Justice Haynes
They talked themselves into Justice Haynes at No. 135, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Drew Azzopardi
Drew Azzopardi at slot 159 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick213 Rnd6 Isaac Brown
They left a pile of value on the table to take Isaac Brown this early at No. 213. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick214 Rnd6 Johntay Cook
They paid sticker price for Johntay Cook in pick 214, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Xavier Chaplin
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Chaplin at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick237 Rnd7 Mario Landino
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mario Landino. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
