The Steelers let Edwards fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-. You could see the war room lean forward. Donovan Edwards at pick 229 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If Cooper pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Kelvin Banks Jr.
In slot 21 they get a blindside protector, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick83
Rnd3
Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in pick No. 83 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick123
Rnd4
Tai Felton
Taking Tai Felton in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick156
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
A tidy little value on O'Donnell Fortune in Round 5, Pick 18, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick185
Rnd6
Tyler Cooper
A reach on Tyler Cooper in the 185th pick; the board had better options right there. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick229
Rnd7
Donovan Edwards
The board fumbled Donovan Edwards all the way to pick 229, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
