Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let Moss fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Le'Veon Moss, pick 229, roughly 84 picks past where he belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Cornelius reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 21 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 2 slot with a little surplus value in Benjamin Morrison. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick83 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in the 83rd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick121 Rnd4 Tory Horton
The board fumbled Tory Horton all the way to the 121st overall pick, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick161 Rnd5 Connor Colby
No edge and no loss on Connor Colby in No. 161; it is a wash and a sensible one. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick223 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at pick No. 223 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick229 Rnd7 Le'Veon Moss
They will replay Le'Veon Moss at slot 229 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at Round 7, Pick 29 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
