Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Steelers clearly saw something nobody else did in Carson Beck, taking him 68 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

Getting Scott where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In pick No. 21 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Need was not the driver here.
Pick53 Rnd2 Carson Beck
Carson Beck at slot 53 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deion Burks
Deion Burks in the 76th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jake Golday
You do not let an edge rusher like Jake Golday reach Round 3, Pick 21 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick99 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at the 99th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Sam Hecht
Sam Hecht at pick 121 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick135 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
Bishop Fitzgerald at the 135th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
Nice patience on Skyler Gill-Howard, who had no business lasting to the 161st pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Dae'Quan Wright
Dae'Quan Wright at pick No. 216 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick224 Rnd7 Noah Whittington
Noah Whittington at pick 224 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Lander Barton
They went early on Lander Barton in slot 230, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Diego Pavia
They jumped the gun on Diego Pavia, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
