Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
The Steelers let Moss fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

When a board-topper like Le'Veon Moss slides to pick 229, you do not overthink it, and the Steelers did not. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

The Truss pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A tidy bit of business in the 52nd overall pick, where Tyler Booker graded well above the range. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick83 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Kaleb Johnson in No. 83, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121 Rnd4 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at Round 4, Pick 20 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick161 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Somehow Danny Stutsman was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick223 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
A wild overpay on Xavier Truss in pick 223, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick229 Rnd7 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss in the 229th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Thor Griffith. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
