Updating a previous report, Scott Brown, of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, reports the Pittsburgh Steelers signed unrestricted free-agent RB Mewelde Moore to a three-year deal Monday, March 3. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

I would act like I don't care, but I feel like Shipp and Arrington could easily be upgraded.

I really don't care...

It's obvious that we're looking at CB and RB in the draft. Putting youself in an situation where we could end up with Stewart, Edge, Moore, JJ and Shipp on the roster going into camp would be idiotic.

This is a great pickup for the Steelers. Would have been one for the Cardinals too but I never had any thought that they would actually go after him.

I agree on the defensive help but I would much rather have Moore than any RB drafted round 2 or later this year.

I don't know. I think a lot of people are right that Graves was pretty clear that they're going to be looking for RB help through the draft only. I liked Moore, as well, but it was fairly obvious that he wasn't on the Cards' wish list.

Good pickup for Pittsburgh, though.

Without commenting on their ability or worth, I would gladly cut Shipp and JJ to get Moore and then draft a RB late and hope for a Bradshaw type of find. Moore's still pretty young, a good runner and can play special teams if need be.
