Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureA-
A franchise passer in McCarthy headlines a B weekend for the Steelers.

The search is over. The Steelers handed the keys to J.J. McCarthy, and the whole operation now runs on his development. The bottom line is a respectable B.

McCaffrey falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The McCarthy pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
The board had cheaper options than J.J. McCarthy at slot 20, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They did well to land T.J. Tampa in pick No. 51, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock slid further than he should have, and pick 84 is lovely value for the safety. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Nice patience on Jarvis Brownlee Jr., who had no business lasting to No. 121. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick197 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas in the 238th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
