Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and Beck: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Carson Beck slide, and the Steelers were the ones holding the card at Round 6, Pick 35. Highway robbery.

With interior defensive lineman and edge rusher unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

If Green pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In slot 20 they get a No. 1 receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Arch Manning
Arch Manning at the 51st overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Cayden Green
They jumped the gun on Cayden Green, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick84 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson slipping to No. 84 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick99 Rnd3 Keon Sabb
Keon Sabb in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick119 Rnd4 Brendan Sorsby
A slide stopped in the 119th pick, with Brendan Sorsby worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Chase Bisontis at offensive lineman with interior defensive lineman and edge rusher open.
Pick160 Rnd5 Hollywood Smothers
Fair-plus on Hollywood Smothers, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick197 Rnd6 Antonio Kite
Antonio Kite in the 197th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick212 Rnd6 Tree Babalade
Tree Babalade in the 212th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick213 Rnd6 Carson Beck
Taking Carson Beck in slot 213 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick234 Rnd7 Shamar Easter
Shamar Easter at pick 234 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
