Steelers round three

The Steelers are set to lose JuJu Smith-Schuster in free agency, and if they do, they will need a new slot receiver on the roster. While Ray-Ray McCloud plays with a lot of passion, he is better suited as a return man only for a team. With the team losing two of their top receivers this offseason, adding one in the draft is paramount.

Skyy Moore is just the type of player this team could use going forward. A different style of a slot receiver than Smith-Schuster, Moore is more of a technician, route-runner, and agile player as opposed to a physical and safe option. He makes his money on short and intermediate routes and then tries to make a play with the ball in his hands afterward. The Steeler offense has been missing that type of a slot receiver for some time now.

Moore is one of the sharpest route runners in the draft. This would make him a great fit for the new offense in Pittsburgh. Whoever is starting at quarterback will have their primary outside receivers set and a dynamic slot option to work with. Moore would fit what the team has lacked at receiver for so long now. He would be a great addition to this roster going forward.
