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

Call it larceny. Barrett Carter sat on the board until pick No. 163, and the Steelers did not need to be asked twice. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Every board in the league had Walley lower, and that gap is the story. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Steal is underselling it; Malaki Starks at pick No. 52 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Deone Walker
The board had Deone Walker higher than the 83rd overall pick, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
They robbed the room for TreVeyon Henderson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Circle this one: Barrett Carter at No. 163 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225 Rnd7 Justin Walley
This one needs a full-page explanation: Justin Walley in the 225th pick, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick231 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at pick 231 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick247 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
Trey Wedig at slot 247 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
