FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Steelers for Brooks: B. The Steelers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Ja'Corey Brooks fell into the Round 7 slot. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Tyler Booker
In No. 30 they get a cornerstone up front, reach and all.
Pick64
Rnd2
Quinshon Judkins
A straight-up fair deal on Quinshon Judkins at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick102
Rnd3
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the 102nd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103
Rnd4
Tai Felton
A clean, defensible pick in Round 4, Pick 1 with a little surplus value in Tai Felton. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick131
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 131 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick134
Rnd4
Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord slipping to the 134th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick156
Rnd5
Hollin Pierce
They robbed the room for Hollin Pierce here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick206
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
They did well to land Jay Higgins in pick 206, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick228
Rnd7
Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone at slot 228 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in the 229th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick248
Rnd7
Cam Horsley
Fair-plus on Cam Horsley, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick254
Rnd7
Ja'Corey Brooks
The board fumbled Ja'Corey Brooks all the way to pick 254, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
