Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 229 lands the Steelers a B-, Schwesinger and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Carson Schwesinger, the Round 7 slot, roughly 91 picks past where he belonged.

They are betting Wease Jr. proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In pick 22 they get a ballhawk on the outside. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell is a better player than Round 2, Pick 21 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
A big swing on Hollin Pierce at pick No. 84, well ahead of any board in the building. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick120 Rnd4 Theo Wease Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Theo Wease Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick154 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
Circle this one: Nicholas Singleton at the 154th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick223 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger in the 223rd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick242 Rnd7 Giles Jackson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Giles Jackson this early at slot 242. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
