Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Schwesinger should have been long gone. The Steelers pounced, and earned a B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Carson Schwesinger, the No. 132 name on the board, stolen at Round 7, Pick 13. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Wease Jr. reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In No. 22 they get a ballhawk on the back end. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at pick 53 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
They talked themselves into Hollin Pierce at slot 84, and the board did not agree. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick120 Rnd4 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. at pick No. 120 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick154 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
They robbed the room for Raheim Sanders here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Carson Schwesinger
A linebacker of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 13 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick242 Rnd7 Giles Jackson
A big swing on Giles Jackson at the 242nd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
