First round, obviously, was a tricky one for the home base faithful there on the North Shore, watching the draft live with the Eagles coming up and stealing Makai Lemon from them.

Hearing that bake out as it was, I was like, OK, you know, they go get him.

Still needed a receiver.

You know, draft Omar Cooper.

And then they drafted Max Ianshore, the tackle from Arizona State.

Again, from a positional perspective, I'm never going to bash taking an offensive tackle or an offensive lineman in the first round.

These are the guys that are proven to be the highest marginal value from dropping from the first to later rounds.

So getting these guys early is definitely a requisite, but then just, just hearing the news come out of, you know, them being on the phone with lemon and then the Eagles coming in and calling his agent.

And that was a, that was a tough one to swallow.

But overall, I'm not, not, not too, not too mad about it.

He's going to be a little bit of a developmental prospect there.

Hopefully Broderick Jones is okay, where you have some time to develop him and see where you're going to,

place him along the offensive line.

My two favorite picks for the Steelers here were Jennings Dunker and Jeremy Bernard.

Dunker, getting him in the third round with pick 96.

We had him ranked as our 53rd overall prospect.

This guy's a mauler.

He's a prototypical Iowa offensive lineman who's going to get nasty in the run blocking, has good solid footwork for pass blocking as well.

So I think this is an opportunity for him to slide right into the left guard position, a position of proverbial need for the Steelers.

And then Jeremy Bernard, given they didn't get Makai Lemon in the first round, I didn't think this guy is going to fit well as their third receiver.
