Draft Grade — Steelers

The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on Schwesinger: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Steelers were there to profit. Carson Schwesinger, the No. 71 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 123.

The Belton reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In pick No. 21 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in slot 83 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick123 Rnd4 Carson Schwesinger
The board fumbled Carson Schwesinger all the way to No. 123, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Fair-plus on Mitchell Evans, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jaydon Blue
They did well to land Jaydon Blue in the Round 6 slot, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick229 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
The board had R.J. Mickens higher than the 229th overall pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
