Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Malachi Moore at the 125th overall pick, a reach of 22 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Moore pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still on the board. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Xavier Worthy
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
No drama and no debate, Sedrick Van Pran went about where he belonged in the 54th pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick86 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Smael Mondon Jr. a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at the Round 4 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Of all the spots to shop, they chose defensive back. Malachi Moore in pick 125 leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick159 Rnd5 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant is a better player than No. 159 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick200 Rnd6 Storm Duck
A big swing on Storm Duck at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick203 Rnd6 Omar Speights
They took Omar Speights at par in Round 6, Pick 28, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick243 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry in slot 243 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
