Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers robbed the room for Carson. Final grade: C+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Caelen Carson, the No. 94 name on the board, stolen at the 119th overall pick. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Steelers indulged a want in Goncalves while a need in quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open. Every board in the league had Estime lower, and that gap is the story.

So much rides on Jackson Powers-Johnson that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In slot 20 they get a long-term starter on the line, reach and all.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at pick No. 51 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick84 Rnd3 Audric Estime
They left a pile of value on the table to take Audric Estime this early at the Round 3 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick98 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
A curious use of the 98th pick. Quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Matt Goncalves did not.
Pick119 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
You do not let a cornerback like Caelen Carson reach Round 4, Pick 19 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick178 Rnd6 Trente Jones
A conviction pick on Trente Jones at pick 178 that the board grades a round light. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at the 195th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
