Nobody else had Micah Morris anywhere near No. 229. The Steelers did, by 39 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A D+ that will need time and luck to look better.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Cam Ward gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Barham.

For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and safety is still a hole.
