Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in No. 161: the Steelers steal Carter and grade out a B+.

The Steelers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Barrett Carter fell into No. 161.

The cost of the Jones Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Trey Amos
A tidy little value on Trey Amos in the 63rd overall pick, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins is a better player than pick No. 83 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
They reached a country mile for Emery Jones Jr. at slot 121, and the board is aghast. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick161 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Steal is underselling it; Barrett Carter at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick223 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in No. 223 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick229 Rnd7 Joey Slackman
Joey Slackman at pick 229 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in the 245th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
