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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Miller Moss, the Round 7 slot, roughly 46 picks past where he belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The Luckie pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In slot 27 they get a three-down runner, and a steal at that.
Pick58 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at No. 75 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Carson Beck
Carson Beck at the 89th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick99 Rnd3 Keon Sabb
Keon Sabb in the 99th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick128 Rnd4 Eugene Wilson III
A slide stopped in pick 128, with Eugene Wilson III worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick134 Rnd4 DJ McKinney
DJ McKinney in Round 4, Pick 34 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick166 Rnd5 Iapani Laloulu
They robbed the room for Iapani Laloulu here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick172 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Oscar Delp. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick209 Rnd6 Raylen Wilson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Raylen Wilson at No. 209 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217 Rnd6 Lawson Luckie
Lawson Luckie in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Miller Moss
They will replay Miller Moss at pick 243 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
