FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Steelers this weekend: B+. It is the swing that defines the weekend: J.J. Weaver in the 231st overall pick, a good 117 spots before the room expected him.
Judkins falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In pick No. 23 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55
Rnd2
T.J. Sanders
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with T.J. Sanders worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick84
Rnd3
Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at the 84th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87
Rnd3
Darien Porter
They read the board right and Darien Porter was the payoff at slot 87. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122
Rnd4
TreVeyon Henderson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, TreVeyon Henderson in pick 122, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick124
Rnd4
Elijah Arroyo
The board fumbled Elijah Arroyo all the way to Round 4, Pick 23, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick158
Rnd5
Kevin Winston Jr.
Somehow Kevin Winston Jr. was still sitting there in No. 158, and they pounced on premier safety value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick163
Rnd5
Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick215
Rnd6
Cody Simon
Cody Simon in slot 215 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220
Rnd7
Kaden Prather
Kaden Prather in Round 7, Pick 2 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225
Rnd7
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A real head-scratcher, Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in the 225th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick231
Rnd7
J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at the 231st pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick247
Rnd7
Bhayshul Tuten
Taking Bhayshul Tuten in pick 247 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
