Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Schwesinger should have been long gone. The Steelers pounced, and earned a B.

Somebody in the 161st overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Steelers sat still while Carson Schwesinger, the No. 87 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

The Caldwell reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at Round 2, Pick 20 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in the 83rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121 Rnd4 Elijah Arroyo
Steal is underselling it; Elijah Arroyo at the 121st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick161 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 161 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick223 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
No edge and no loss on Seth McLaughlin in slot 223; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick229 Rnd7 DJ Giddens
They robbed the room for DJ Giddens here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
A big swing on Jamaree Caldwell at pick 245, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
