Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on Schwesinger: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Carson Schwesinger got past him. The Steelers do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 122.

The cost of the Golden reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick No. 21 they get a home-run threat at receiver, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
They jumped the gun on Azareye'h Thomas, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick83 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They took Donovan Jackson at par in the 83rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick122 Rnd4 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in pick 122 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick135 Rnd4 Riley Leonard
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Riley Leonard in Round 4, Pick 34, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Howard Cross III
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Howard Cross III. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick225 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne at the 225th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick231 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
Somehow Roc Taylor was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick239 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
Kitan Crawford in the 239th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
