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

Thirty-one other rooms let Malachi Moore slide, and the Steelers were the ones holding the card at No. 156. Highway robbery. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Higgins has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in pick No. 21 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
The board had cheaper options than Jalen Milroe at slot 83, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
They let Joshua Farmer come to them and pounced at the 123rd overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick156 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at pick 185 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick229 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
Value with a capital V on Alijah Huzzie in No. 229, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
