Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers bet the future on Simpson. The board says B.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Ty Simpson is the Steelers' quarterback, full stop. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Moore pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Every board in the league had Lucas lower, and that gap is the story.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Ty Simpson
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a passer to set the clock by. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Germie Bernard
By-the-book stuff, Germie Bernard at pick 53 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Drew Shelton
A reach on Drew Shelton in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick85 Rnd3 Anthony Lucas
A reach for Anthony Lucas in slot 85; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99 Rnd3 Devin Moore
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Devin Moore at the 99th pick is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
