Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Steelers, and a C+ to match.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Steelers spent pick No. 53 on Carson Beck, a name most had 68 spots down the list. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 1 of 9 of the wish list covered.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In No. 21 they get a long-term starter on the line. More want than need.
Pick53 Rnd2 Carson Beck
A big swing on Carson Beck at pick 53, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
