After three straight offensive selections, the Steelers finally helped their defense, going with NC State’s Payton Wilson. Some call Wilson the steal of the draft. An ESPN analyst dubbed him as one of the best picks of the third round. Field Yates, an NFL Draft analyst for ESPN, put Wilson in the “best of category.” That’s because Yates believes Wilson is the top inside linebacker of the entire draft. He wrote: “Wilson landed at No. 98 because of his injury history. But the end of the third round was more than a reasonable time to justify the investment — this was an incredible value. I though...

Former Alabama cornerback Terrion Arnold is clearly a talented player. You don’t get picked in the first round of the NFL Draft and earn All-American honors in college without being extremely skilled. With that said, Arnold is not a finished product after being selected in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions. Former Patriots coach Bill Belichick joined Pat McAfee for the first round of the Draft and shared where Terrion Arnold must improve moving forward. “Terrion was one of the two good corners down there. Kool-Aid [McKinstry] was the other one,” Bill Belichick said. “T...

The Panthers didn’t own a first round pick until they traded up for one, landing Xavier Legette. And at least one analyst is applauding the selection as one of the best of the draft’s opening day. Field Yates, an NFL Draft analyst for ESPN, released his best picks and top steals of the draft early Tuesday. He’d had a few days to think about all the moves and 257 picks of the seven-round draft. The Panthers selected Legette at No. 32, i.e., the final pick of the first round. The draft was deep in elite wideouts. Legette, who most thought would end up as an early second-round pick, represented t...

FOX Sports analyst Joel Klatt was as shocked as anyone to see former Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. selected No. 8 overall by the Atlanta Falcons in the 2024 NFL Draft. Atlanta, fresh off giving veteran signal caller Kirk Cousins a four-year, $180 million deal this offseason, had other pressing needs such as outside linebacker but decided to grab a quarterback for the future. Klatt, breaking down the biggest happenings of draft weekend, emphasized that while he does believe Penix was worthy of his draft slot, the Falcons being the team to pull the trigger on him is a “case of an orga...

The NFL Draft has come and gone and, once again, it was loaded with talent from the Alabama Crimson Tide, with 10 players being selected from the program. Despite that, for some people, the draft was a perceived disappointment for Alabama. After all, last year, the Crimson Tide had two players selected before their highest pick this year with JC Latham going seventh overall to the Tennessee Titans. SEC Network analyst Paul Finebaum, while making an appearance on McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning, pushed back on the idea that it wasn’t a good year for Alabama in the NFL Draft, sharing his pers...

The Philadelphia Eagles having a successful NFL Draft has become a common theme, a theme that continued this year after one of the league’s best front offices did it once again with numerous slam dunk selections. ESPN NFL Draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. gave the Eagles an A grade following the 2024 NFL Draft, breaking down why he and many others regarded their haul as one of the best across the NFL to Field Yates on ESPN’s First Draft. “I mean what’s not to like?” Kiper asked. “They got my guy Cooper DeJean in the second round after getting Quinyon Mitchell. So you look at that draft Field for the...

Mel Kiper is not sure how much of an impact the offensive players in the 2024 Carolina Panthers draft class will make once the new season begins. On ESPN’s First Draft, Kiper shared his thoughts on the Panthers’ picks, specifically players such as wide receiver Xavier Legette, running back Jonathon Brooks and tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders. “Xavier Legette, nice pick where they took him,” Kiper said of Legette who was picked in the first round. “He’s notA.J. Brown. I know the comps say A.J. Brown, he’s not A.J. Brown. I want to know why a one-year wonder had that kind of ability and that was when...

Xavier Worthy, the fastest receiver in the 2024 NFL Draft, ended up in the one place that many can’t believe he managed to get to in the Kansas City Chiefs. Still, since he did make it to them after they moved up to No. 28, Mel Kiper Jr. had to give credit where it was due for the selection. Kiper graded Kansas City’s draft at a B+ on Monday during ‘First Draft’ with Field Yates. Their first-round choice of Worthy was a large reason why he went so positive considering what he brings to the position, especially now that he’ll be in the Chiefs’ offense. “Yeah, I love what they did with Worthy,” ...

Three teams had multiple selections in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, with one of them being the Minnesota Vikings. Quarterback JJ McCarthy and EDGE Dallas Turner wound up being the picks, giving the Vikings two quality players and two key positions. Even so, ESPN’s Mel Kiper was not a fan of the team’s overall haul, grading Minnesota’s draft a C+. Reason being — Kiper does not believe the Vikings set themselves up well to perform next season. He does think trading up to select McCarthy at No. 10 overall was a bit of a stretch. Still grading him as a first-round pick, Minnesota did giv...

The Chicago Bears walked away as one of the bigger winners of the 2024 NFL Draft. Still, while their two Top-10 picks were clear victories, Mel Kiper Jr. says the success of the five-man class will come down to their selections in the later rounds, including Iowa P Tory Taylor. Kiper gave the Bears a grade of a B during an episode of ‘First Draft’ on Monday with Field Yates. He said that’s already as high as it is because of the pair of obvious picks that Chicago made in the opening portion of the first round. “I think that the first two picks were gimmes. I mean anybody could have made those ...
