Finally, the 2021 NFL Draft is completed. After six total selections on Day 3, 8 more undrafted free agents, and a handful of rookie camp invitees the process is complete. With any new acquisition you know the fan base will react. Below you will find the best reactions to the Steelers 2021 Day three draft picks.
Dan Moore Jr., OT, Texas A&M

That's two zone-blocking run-first OL in Kendrick Green and now Dan Moore Jr. in back-to-back picks for the #Steelers. Clear message sent after drafting two skill position guys. First time since 1984 they got 4 straight offensive players. (Louis Lipps year). #NFLDraft

Dan Moore Jr. was drafted with pick 128 of round 4 in the 2021 draft class. He scored a 8.98 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 118 out of 1143 OT from 1987 to 2021. https://t.co/Rgw9ZDlfxH #RAS #Steelers pic.twitter.com/0fsmweyKEY

The Steelers filled all of their offensive holes with their first fourth round pick. Moore offers the Steelers great length, and a key developmental piece. Moore is another road grader, and one more piece in the puzzle of fixing the run game.
Buddy Johnson, ILB, Texas A&M
Steelers take LB Buddy Johnson

Steelers covering all their needs. Buddy Johnson coming to the burgh!
— Drew Hannis (@DrewHannis) May 1, 2021
The Steelers added another thumper to their inside linebacker room. This one was seen as a bit of a reach, but a near perfect fit. Being able to sit and learn behind a number of veterans will do him some good. —Side note don't you just love Coach Olsavsky what a clip
Isaiahh Loudermilk, DT, Wisconsin
"I'm from the south. You know they say defensive linemen are just like pretty women. There's not a lot of them, and everybody wants one. When you find a big guy like that, you want to get him." - #Steelers DL coach Karl Dunbar on 5th round pick Isaiah Loudermilk. #NFLDraft
— Christopher Carter (@CarterCritiques) May 1, 2021
I love GMKC but there’s always that one pick every draft that you think he has a serious brain fart and you’re just thinking “what are you doing?!”. This was it.

Steelers DC Keith Butler says fifth-round pick Isaiahh Loudermilk kind of reminds him of a young Cam Heyward. Obviously not as developed at this point, hence their vastly different draft spots, but he'll "learn a lot from" Heyward, Stephon Tuitt, etc.
— Brian Batko (@BrianBatko) May 1, 2021
This pick caught everyone off guard. From the trade to get the pick to the pick itself this one came out of left field. The Steelers love Loudermilk, but to most of the fan base/media he was a relative unknown.
Quincy Roche, LB, Miami
Love the Steelers taking Quincy Roche there. Thought he was overrated when people were talking about him as a top 50 guy, but being on the board at 216? 4th rd grade from me, limited but savvy rusher with good physicality and competitive edge.

"I'm in a house full of Ravens fans but I told my family I don't even want to see the color purple anymore. I have somebody dropping off a Terrible Towel tonight." #NFLDraft
Perhaps the biggest steal of the Steelers 2021 draft. I have yet to come across someone who didn't love the value and talent of Roche. Positivity flowed through the internet when this pick was announced.
Tre Norwood, CB, Oklahoma
STEELERRRRRR NATIONNNN, let’s go! Excited and thankful for the opportunity to be apart of the organization. Can’t wait to get to work! #SteelerNation #Godsplan #Staythecourse https://t.co/SQVAOQj0ho

Good pick, guy can do everything on defense
— (34-15-3) (@CrosbyWRLD) May 1, 2021
Steelers pick Oklahoma DB Tre Norwood, who could help fill depth needs at both CB and S. That's why I like the pick. Also had five interceptions last year.
— Brian Batko (@BrianBatko) May 1, 2021
When the Steelers finally got a corner in the draft you could feel the fan base exhale simultaneously. Like Coach Mike Tomlin said he’s a Swiss army knife that can do a little bit of everything for this defense.

Possibly my favorite pick of the draft was a punter, yes you read that right. The kid has a rocket of a leg and the physique of a guard, sprinkled in with a sneaky throwing ability that will slow down even the most aggressive teams. This was a fun pick for much of Steelers Nation, and a kid we will likely grow to adore.
So with that the draft is over! What are your thoughts on these picks? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
