ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Steelers this weekend: D+.

The war room fell hard for DJ Uiagalelei, and it showed at Round 7, Pick 13: 79 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Put together, it is a D+.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Moore falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In No. 21 they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They paid sticker price for Deone Walker in pick 83, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick156 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A real head-scratcher, JJ Pegues in Round 5, Pick 18 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick185 Rnd6 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in slot 185 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick229 Rnd7 DJ Uiagalelei
They left a pile of value on the table to take DJ Uiagalelei this early at pick No. 229. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
