Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: KJ Jefferson in slot 223, a good 71 spots before the room expected him.

Getting Moore where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In No. 21 they get a matchup problem out wide. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the 52nd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick83 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Deone Walker for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick121 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in the 121st pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach slot 161 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick223 Rnd7 KJ Jefferson
KJ Jefferson at Round 7, Pick 7 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jimmy Horn Jr. in the 229th pick, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick245 Rnd7 Micah Morris
They reached a country mile for Micah Morris at pick No. 245, and the board is aghast. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
