Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall

FutureA+
The Steelers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-. There is reaching, and then there is Derrick Moore at pick 113. The Steelers jumped the board by 40 and dared it to prove them wrong. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Moore pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.
Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese at pick No. 14 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick45
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
They paid sticker price for Olaivavega Ioane in No. 45, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick78
Rnd3
Eric Singleton Jr.
A tidy little value on Eric Singleton Jr. in the 78th overall pick, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick80
Rnd3
Rod Moore
A quiet steal in pick 80: Rod Moore for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99
Rnd3
Xavier Scott
They paid a round early for Xavier Scott in the 99th pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick113
Rnd4
Derrick Moore
A big swing on Derrick Moore at slot 113, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick154
Rnd5
Jaden Greathouse
A straight-up fair deal on Jaden Greathouse at No. 154, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217
Rnd7
Jaren Kanak
No edge and no loss on Jaren Kanak in the 217th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick229
Rnd7
Brandon Inniss
Brandon Inniss in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
