Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Beck, and a B, for the Steelers.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Carson Beck is the Steelers' quarterback, full stop.

Getting Stewart where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Carson Beck
In the 14th pick they get their guy under center for the next decade. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick78 Rnd3 Evan Stewart
They barely believed it either: Evan Stewart still on the board at Round 3, Pick 14. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick142 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
A tidy little value on Davison Igbinosun in pick No. 142, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick146 Rnd5 Bryson Nesbit
A reasonable price with a little left over, Bryson Nesbit in the 146th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham in No. 184 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick196 Rnd7 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at slot 196 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick206 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Fentrell Cypress II. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
