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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Miller Moss, pick No. 224, roughly 31 picks past where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They will need Freeling to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a true top target at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 John Mateer
A real head-scratcher, John Mateer in slot 53 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
Steal is underselling it; A.J. Haulcy at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick85 Rnd3 Monroe Freeling
They reached into another round for Monroe Freeling, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick99 Rnd3 Julian Neal
Taking Julian Neal in the 99th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick121 Rnd4 Caden Curry
Caden Curry at pick No. 121 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick136 Rnd4 Trinidad Chambliss
They read the board right and Trinidad Chambliss was the payoff at pick 136. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick160 Rnd5 Sam Roush
A straight-up fair deal on Sam Roush at the 160th pick, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jamal Haynes
The board had cheaper options than Jamal Haynes at Round 6, Pick 33, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick214 Rnd6 Tristan Leigh
They paid sticker price for Tristan Leigh in slot 214, and that is fine. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick224 Rnd7 Miller Moss
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Miller Moss in the 224th overall pick, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick237 Rnd7 Roderick Kearney
Roderick Kearney at the 237th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
