FutureA-
The Steelers let King fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-. The board owed the Steelers one, and it paid up: Kalen King, the No. 41 name on the board, sitting there at slot 74 like a gift left on the doorstep. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They are betting Williams proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
The Cohen pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman and edge rusher. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In No. 22 they get protection for the quarterback. More want than need.
Pick55
Rnd2
Quinyon Mitchell
You do not let a cornerback like Quinyon Mitchell reach pick No. 55 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick59
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at slot 59 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick74
Rnd3
Kalen King
They barely believed it either: Kalen King still on the board at the Round 3 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84
Rnd3
Junior Colson
They read the board right and Junior Colson was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 20. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91
Rnd3
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at the 91st pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick97
Rnd3
Beau Brade
The board had cheaper options than Beau Brade at pick 97, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109
Rnd4
James Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for James Williams. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick119
Rnd4
Audric Estime
They will replay Audric Estime at slot 119 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick120
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at Round 4, Pick 20 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick123
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
They jumped the gun on Cedric Gray, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick125
Rnd4
Javion Cohen
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Javion Cohen at offensive lineman with interior defensive lineman and edge rusher open.
Pick138
Rnd5
Javon Foster
A tidy bit of business in No. 138, where Javon Foster graded well above the range. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick198
Rnd6
Jared Wiley
By-the-book stuff, Jared Wiley at pick No. 198 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219
Rnd6
Jordan Magee
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jordan Magee in pick 219. It fills a real need, too.
