Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on King: B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Kobe King got past him. The Steelers do not have to explain a thing at pick 223. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

Every board in the league had Carroll lower, and that gap is the story. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
They let Luther Burden III come to them and pounced at pick 24. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker slipping to Round 2, Pick 20 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick83 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at No. 83 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jack Bech
No edge and no loss on Jack Bech in slot 97; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick121 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Circle this one: Sebastian Castro at the 121st pick is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
They robbed the room for Barrett Carter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick161 Rnd5 Quinn Carroll
Quinn Carroll at the 161st overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick223 Rnd7 Kobe King
Kobe King in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick229 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne at pick 229 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick245 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris at No. 245 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
