Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Steelers for Muhammad III: B-.

Somebody in the Round 6 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Steelers sat still while Moose Muhammad III, the No. 155 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with safety, edge rusher and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 22nd overall pick they get a cornerstone up front. More want than need.
Pick54 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Sedrick Van Pran while clear needs at safety, edge rusher and other spots sat open.
Pick86 Rnd3 Max Melton
A curious use of slot 86. Safety, edge rusher and other spots needed the pick; a defensive back in Max Melton did not.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton at pick No. 122 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159 Rnd5 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II in No. 159 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick200 Rnd6 Moose Muhammad III
They robbed the room for Moose Muhammad III here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jaxson Dart
Somehow Jaxson Dart was still sitting there in the 243rd pick, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
