Good run defender, brings nothing vs the pass.
They needed depth and this draft class seems average for IDL.

Trading within the division? Wow.
They have so much D line talent in Baltimore that I guess whoever came knocking they were fine with getting something for him.
NT/DT could be the pick in round two. Wormely is a works out like a Superman, but on the field, he's a garden variety Clark Kent. Might help a bit as a rotational type of player. I don't like trading with the Rats. I do think the Steeler liked Wormley a few years back during the draft evaluation process. So we give up a 5th, and get a 7th + Wormley. Sounds like the Ravens were ready to cut him, and fielded trade offers. The price is right.
I pretty much agree with your assessment.
I'm fine with the signing. They didn't give up much to get him.
I think they draft another big bodied interior DL in one of the first 4 rounds if someone they like is available. I'm thinking about someone like Davon Hamilton from Ohio State in the third. A big guy that is powerful enough to play NT, but has enough movement skills to be flexible like Hargrave and kick out to DE if needed that also has some pass rush ability.
No longer as much DL talent as the Ravens thought they had when they made the trade
Defensive lineman Michael Brockers is returning to the Rams on a three-year deal worth up to $31.5 million, according to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Baltimore originally signed Brockers to a three-year deal on March 18. But the contract fell through after further medical examination of his ankle.

We should make up the picks we gave away through a comp pick at least for hargrave.

I had hopes the Steelers would have drafted him. Unless I'm thinking of someone else.
Read on twitter that he's a big Steelers fan so he should be excited about the news.
Also, I wonder if Alualu could see time at NT in the base defense?

Trading with the Rats has me worried. I would like to know why the Rats traded him to Pittsburgh of all teams. Eric DeCosta the GM has been getting the upperhand in trades. Swapping picks as opposed to just giving one away makes it better though
Colbert enters the draft with no glaring needs... which allows him to go BPA.
AlaAlu or Big Dan at this juncture are the only true options ... what Burns my ass is what They are going to have to Pay Wormley and Big Dan nets you Billings and you have change left over and retain the 2021 draft pick .....
that doesnt mean I dislike the Wormley trade but Billings would have been a much bigger impact on our current roster construction IMO
Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles problem now
True, I think Billings would be a better fit, but for whatever reason the Browns were his choice for a 1 year deal to leverage a better long term deal. McCullers is horrible and not a good option to start or get many minutes IMO. I think Wormley is better at DE and likely a hedge against Tuitt not being completely recovered.
Heyward, Tuitt, Alualu, Buggs, Wormley are a good 5 at DE, but only having McCullers at the nose isn't a good sign IMO. That is one spot I can see the Steelers drafting a D lineman in the 2nd or 3rd round.
That's why I've been looking at Davon Hamilton from Ohio State and Leki Fotu out of Utah as a possiblilty. They are two guys that have the size to play zero technique, that probably won't go at the top of the draft and would be available options when they pick in the middle rounds.
Even before Tuitt went down, we mostly used a 2-5. As I said in the Hargrave thread... he would have been regulated to the bench (not worth $13 million for a guy not getting snaps).
Often, Heyward slides over to NT. I see that happening or Buggs playing some NT.
This ^^^ .
I’ve been saying the same. If the Steelers are going to continue the 2-5 scheme (which there’s no reason they shouldn’t with how successful they were), there’s no need to replace Hargrave. Wormley will fit into the rotation and the rotation/combination or Heyward, Alualu, Biggs, Wormley, Tuitt will be fine. In essence, Hargrave has already been upgraded with the return of Tuitt.
