Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson of
Speaker 1: the Black and Goal Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back on
Speaker 1: Dale Lolly here with Matt Williamson. Uh Met, the NFL
Speaker 1: scouting combine will be in uh in play next week
Speaker 1: and uh well, obviously everything with the draft will start
Speaker 1: to heat up a little bit. Uh When that happens,
Speaker 1: we'll hear more stuff. Guys. Rankings will change a little bit.
Speaker 1: At least rankings will change from the perception of the
Speaker 1: people outside of NFL teams throwing the rankings. The NFL
Speaker 1: teams probably have a pretty good idea of where these
Speaker 1: guys rank heading into this situation. They're not going to
Speaker 1: a guy who was a fourth round pick heading into
Speaker 1: the scouting combine on NFL boards isn't gonna suddenly jump
Speaker 1: up and be a first round draft pick. On NFL boards.
Speaker 1: He was probably I'm talking about where the nasticators had
Speaker 1: him ranked. That's probably where he was at on NFL boards.
Speaker 1: They're just learning and right they're they're catching up, and
Speaker 1: people are talking in their ear and they're starting to
Speaker 1: It's harder to keep secrets the longer we go for
Speaker 1: these teams. You know, you know, coaches get involved and
Speaker 1: they changed the way the teams look at things. But
Speaker 1: you're right. I mean if a guy like you said,
Speaker 1: there's a guy with a third or fourth round grade,
Speaker 1: he could go down a lot easier than he could
Speaker 1: go up for NFL teams. And by that, I mean, boy,
Speaker 1: we talked to him and I really don't like him
Speaker 1: or his knee. I knew was a problem. I didn't
Speaker 1: know it was that bad. Or I was a little
Speaker 1: curious about his speed, and I thought he'd run in
Speaker 1: the four fives, and he ran the four sevens. You know,
Speaker 1: he just wasn't He just wasn't very He wasn't as
Speaker 1: athletic as we thought he was. Yeah, and we go
Speaker 1: back to the tape and then I think he really
Speaker 1: isn't that athletic, you know, but more people who go
Speaker 1: down than up. So we're running our our mock draft
Speaker 1: today on the Draft network dot com. Um Evan Neil
Speaker 1: went first, Kyle Hamilton's second, Derek Derek Stingly third, Wanu
Speaker 1: went forth to the Jets. Thibodeaux went fifth to the Giants.
Speaker 1: Charles Cross then goes to the Panthers. Treyl On Burke's
Speaker 1: at seven to the Giants. Wow, I just talked about
Speaker 1: them as being a wide receiver needy team. Aidan Hutchinson
Speaker 1: goes all the way down to eight to to the Falcons,
Speaker 1: Malik Willis goes ninth to Denver. Sauce Gardner goes ten
Speaker 1: to the Jets, Jamison Williams at eleven to Washington, Andrew
Speaker 1: Booth goes to at twelve to the Vikings. This is interesting.
Speaker 1: The Browns take Matt Corral. Really, it's funny. I was
Speaker 1: on my podcast today staying we're going through scenarios of
Speaker 1: different teams, and I said, here's what I'm guessing for
Speaker 1: the Browns is They'll be in the second round and
Speaker 1: they'll they'll take Carson Strong or trade up and get
Speaker 1: a how or somebody like that. But with their second pick. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that says I'm to him. With thirteen. Jermaine Johnson had
Speaker 1: a Florida State goes to the Ravens. The Eagle Steake
Speaker 1: Trey von Walker, then Trent McDuffie. David a. Jabo goes
Speaker 1: to its seventeen to the Chargers, Trevor Penning to the Saints,
Speaker 1: Tyler Linderbaum to the Eagles with their third first round
Speaker 1: draft pick, and the Steelers are on the clock. Can
Speaker 1: He Pickett still available, Kenyan Green still available, Zion Johnson
Speaker 1: still available, Um, Jordan Davis still available. A lot of
Speaker 1: good players there. Uh. The wide receivers aren't that picked
Speaker 1: over yet. We just talked about that. So you could
Speaker 1: go with Garrett Wilson, you could take Drake London, UM,
Speaker 1: Crystal Lave. There's some There's some guys there that would
Speaker 1: be of interest. UM Wilson is probably the best player
Speaker 1: on the board. To me of the names you mentioned,
Speaker 1: I don't know that I can go first round receiver
Speaker 1: that that would be really dynamic. And again, have they
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna sign a guard you know? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but will they have signed a quarterback into guard? I
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, picket seems like the logical choice.
Speaker 1: I don't love them. I kind of wish I liked
Speaker 1: them a little better than they do. I hear you, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know I want to root for him. The Kobe
Speaker 1: Dean is available, Um, devn Lloyd is available. Those guys
Speaker 1: seem to be kind of falling down the ranking. Like
Speaker 1: when this whole process a month ago, people were talking
Speaker 1: about Devin Lloyd and being a top ten pick. I
Speaker 1: don't know that we've had this conversation. I'm sure we haven't,
Speaker 1: because really, in the last two days, I'm starting to
Speaker 1: fall in love. And this is a very steel or
Speaker 1: relevant thought. With the day two linebackers, I mean, there's
Speaker 1: guys on Damel Clark, quay Walk or Tindall, both those
Speaker 1: dudes from Georgia, two guys from Penn State, Christian Harris.
Speaker 1: I mean, there is a lot of names. If you've
Speaker 1: seen this Wisconsin kid, it's like to sixty that can rune.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm really, what's his name again, Chanel Chanel.
Speaker 1: There's a lot. There's like a dozen starting linebackers in
Speaker 1: this class. So maybe that the no fault of Dean
Speaker 1: or Lloyd. I think you wait, and I think that's
Speaker 1: a great spot, you know, and for the Steelers second
Speaker 1: third round. So what do you want to do here?
Speaker 1: Matt pick it? Okay, I guess yeah, alright, so we
Speaker 1: take Kenny Pickett. I don't know that, you know, again
Speaker 1: he pick it, but I would certainly do as well.
Speaker 1: But that's we We don't make the choices here. The
Speaker 1: choices are made for us. In reality, down if if
Speaker 1: those were the first nine team guys, taken. I might
Speaker 1: try to trade the thirty and take Ritter or how
Speaker 1: or whoever's left. I don't love them though, either, and
Speaker 1: it loves a big word. Yeah, I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: even I don't even know that I in in a
Speaker 1: case of like with him. But even like Zilon Johnson
Speaker 1: or Green might still be there too. Yeah. Right, if
Speaker 1: no receivers are off the board, you get a pretty,
Speaker 1: you get a lave or you know. Right, Okay, so
Speaker 1: we're back up now at fifty two. Isaiah Spiller available,
Speaker 1: Jamari Sailor, Carson Strong, Christian Watson, Travis Jones, George Pickens,
Speaker 1: Isaiah likely. No, I'm not gonna mention the tight ends
Speaker 1: are taking. Breece Hall still available, cawer Elam, John Matchi
Speaker 1: um Elam and Jones and the two names I thought
Speaker 1: that stood out, Chad, I'd be curiously the linebackers are though. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll call them up individually here and more and more.
Speaker 1: As I was just kind of saying, well, this is
Speaker 1: the area where you're looking at those guys because you
Speaker 1: get a SOMA out of Oklahoma, Chap, Darien Beavers at
Speaker 1: a Cincinnati uh, Damon Clark leoshanal Kway, Walker Channing, Tindall,
Speaker 1: Joe Joe Doman out of the Rascots, Roy Anderson out
Speaker 1: of Montana State. Um. See, there's some names there I
Speaker 1: really like. Yeah. I like Clark a lot. I like
Speaker 1: Walker a lot, I like Anderson a lot. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: I certainly think linebackers a need for the Steelers, and
Speaker 1: I would probably cut Showbert for what you can save
Speaker 1: with him. But I think I'm looking on day two
Speaker 1: for my linebacker upgrade. Yeah, I just want to take
Speaker 1: another look here at the wide receivers. Uh. As I
Speaker 1: mentioned Christian Watson, George Pickens, John Michie, Calvin, Austin Sky
Speaker 1: more me. Yeah, one Dell Robinson, Kyle Phillips out of
Speaker 1: U C. L A. Is interesting. Um, some different different
Speaker 1: body types there, depends on what you're looking for. Like
Speaker 1: Watson's a six four uh you know, two d and
Speaker 1: five ten pound long striding, get down the field kind
Speaker 1: of guy. Um. You know, Pickens is were of a
Speaker 1: do it all kind of everything guy, but he's coming
Speaker 1: off of an injury. Um, you know, making some quick
Speaker 1: slots in there too. And you know Austin get Austin's guy.
Speaker 1: I'm more Wandel Robinson and Kyle Phillips are all that
Speaker 1: slot type guy. Jalen Tilbert's still there as well. Um,
Speaker 1: there's really interesting Khalil Shakier. I don't know how much
Speaker 1: you see it watched him. I like him too. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so I mean there's there's some value there, really is.
Speaker 1: I mean this is hard. These are always hard to
Speaker 1: do in February, of course, but I feel like more
Speaker 1: and more. If they two can be a receiver and
Speaker 1: a linebacker, you're maximizing what's available, right, So, I mean
Speaker 1: what about his defensive tackle though, Travis Jones is still
Speaker 1: a fail Say Jones, I thought it was the best
Speaker 1: name on the board though, Yeah, I mean he might
Speaker 1: be the best player right of that group and would
Speaker 1: certainly would be a very helpful addition. Yeah, for darim Eth,
Speaker 1: this is also still available. I mean, I think I'm
Speaker 1: not speaking for you, but I think right now that
Speaker 1: drawing up quicker than the other. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, there
Speaker 1: will be a linebacker or receiver in round three that
Speaker 1: we like. Yes, I think if I told you a
Speaker 1: genie came out of the bottle and says, I'll give
Speaker 1: you Jones from Yukon for the Steeler second round pick.
Speaker 1: We both said yes, yes, I agree. Yeah, so that
Speaker 1: the pick we've taken him quite a bit, that seems
Speaker 1: to be worse right in his area where he goes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think there's a fifty shot he's still there and
Speaker 1: we're scrolled going down here around next pick is an
Speaker 1: eight four MoMA just went so that I don't think
Speaker 1: that the I don't think the linebackers got necessarily picked
Speaker 1: over there. So the linebackers still left for Schanal Quay Walker,
Speaker 1: Channing Tindall, Joe Joe Doman, Troy Anderson. So it has
Speaker 1: been picked over a little bit. NL is the guy
Speaker 1: I mentioned from Wisconsin. Yeah, I mean he he's listed
Speaker 1: at six two two sixty and he is a downhill
Speaker 1: thumper but is supposed to test really really well. Um,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. He's great in coverage, but
Speaker 1: he is a throwback. I really like Anderson as well,
Speaker 1: but he's a little more of a project, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, but boy, he's athletic and can do a
Speaker 1: lot of things for you. And I think kuway Walker
Speaker 1: at Georgia is another one that is really really enticing.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's another big dude. He's listed at six
Speaker 1: four to forty. I don't want to be quite six four,
Speaker 1: but I mean he's a big sucker. Yeah, he's he's
Speaker 1: kind of Tremaine Edmonds like, yeah, yeah, yeah, the length
Speaker 1: in the size. The receiver is still available Sky Moore one,
Speaker 1: Dell Robinson, Kyle Phillips, Jalen Tilbert, and and then you
Speaker 1: got Khalil Shakier. Those are the top five guys still
Speaker 1: available there. I want to linebacker receiver. The problem is
Speaker 1: we don't have another pick then until our compensatory at
Speaker 1: the end of the fourth round, and that's quite a
Speaker 1: ways down there. That's that's one thirty seven. So we're
Speaker 1: gonna go fifty picks essentially without a selection here. And
Speaker 1: I'd like ten names that are available at these two positions.
Speaker 1: Which which position do you think they should value more
Speaker 1: at the moment they have linebackers mhm. They got guys
Speaker 1: who can line up and play with right now, and
Speaker 1: they used a fourth round pick last year. I'm Buddy Johnson. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know what to think of big picture, you know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they don't have receivers. They don't there's nothing the roster. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: sky More. I think it takes sky More there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think he's a really good prospect. Yeah. And for
Speaker 1: people that don't know he uhcademy, he's a shady side
Speaker 1: academy guy, uh, which would also happen to be where
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin children went. Okay, might have a little insight
Speaker 1: on a little bit of connection there. Yeah. And so
Speaker 1: we're a good thing we did that because all the
Speaker 1: receivers and went quickly after that. Those other guys that
Speaker 1: I just mentioned are all now all gone and our
Speaker 1: pick is coming up here at one thirty seven. And
Speaker 1: let's see what linebackers are available. Well, now it's picked
Speaker 1: over a little bit makes sense. Jack Sanborn is the
Speaker 1: top guy available. DeMarco Jackson out of Appalachian State, Um, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Joshua Ross out of Michigan. Um. I kind of like
Speaker 1: him a little bit. Um, he's kind of he kind
Speaker 1: of took over for Devon Bush after Yeah, he's he
Speaker 1: was there, Mike, he's a little bit. He's bigger than Bush.
Speaker 1: He's sixty two. Yea. I think he's a different style. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's fine. I mean that's kind of seems like a
Speaker 1: Buddy Johnson. Yeah, I'm not getting what I mean. I
Speaker 1: don't know if we want a pigeon horse. I was
Speaker 1: into me. I don't know, we have to do that.
Speaker 1: Let's see what else is available, and we turned our
Speaker 1: nose up in a good offensive linement of any sort ever,
Speaker 1: I mean you know what I mean? Yeah, uh so
Speaker 1: the offensive. Donovan West out of Arizona State available, can't
Speaker 1: I can't pronounce this. And Caleb Evans at a Missouri
Speaker 1: at cornerback. Um, I mean corner could be in the
Speaker 1: mix at this stage of the draft too. Yeah, Dame Belton,
Speaker 1: the safety out of Iowa. It's got a good safety name,
Speaker 1: Belton Belton. Matt Well. Let's go out of North Dakota
Speaker 1: the offensive. Yeah, I kind of like lineman on the board.
Speaker 1: Him and Braxton Jones at a Southern Utah. Um, Max
Speaker 1: Mitchell at a Louisiana still available, Jones and Mitchell or
Speaker 1: nice values in the stage of the game. Yeah, um,
Speaker 1: Pull Strange at a Chattanooga on the interior. I might
Speaker 1: do that. Um. I think he's more like a round
Speaker 1: two guy. Yeah, it could be. Um, I think you
Speaker 1: value value tackle though over Yes, an interior guy at
Speaker 1: least I would at this point. Oh, I do too,
Speaker 1: mean to be very honest, I mean really laid into
Speaker 1: this on a Steeler Live video I did with with
Speaker 1: Wolf in PURSUITA and a lot of it I stole
Speaker 1: from our conversations and your thoughts. I would spend money
Speaker 1: on a guard and I'd bring back choops and I
Speaker 1: would draft a tackle. Yeah, you know that's a short
Speaker 1: end of it. But I don't know that you have
Speaker 1: to draft interior. If you spend money on Connor Williams,
Speaker 1: you can find those guys you can find. I mean,
Speaker 1: Trey Turner was available right before training camp last year.
Speaker 1: There'll be some grizzly old center guard. If you're really
Speaker 1: up against it and you need a guy that you
Speaker 1: can you can go that right now. You'd like to
Speaker 1: do better than trade Turner obviously, right, but he wasn't
Speaker 1: the problem last year. You mean just a can't find
Speaker 1: those versions of tackles though. No, no, they're not just
Speaker 1: just not available. Um so you like which one do
Speaker 1: you like the three? Well, let's go Jones Mitchell Mitchell.
Speaker 1: I guess, okay, a little bit of a project, but
Speaker 1: that's okay. Max Mitchell was to pick with them. We'll
Speaker 1: have two Louisiana offensive alignement. How about that? Yeah? Now,
Speaker 1: we gotta wait a while, alright, we gotta go all
Speaker 1: the way to the sixth round. That's why you know.
Speaker 1: It wouldn't surprise me if, for example, the Steelers traded
Speaker 1: down a little bit in the second round to be
Speaker 1: nice to fill this gap, to pick up on extra
Speaker 1: pick are somewhere. I don't even know. The trading down
Speaker 1: round one is crazy talk. They'll probably have somebody there
Speaker 1: though that they like in the first round, I'm sure.
Speaker 1: And I think there's a better chance they trade up
Speaker 1: and fall in love with the quarterback then trade down.
Speaker 1: But I don't see that happened. I don't know that
Speaker 1: that happens. I wouldn't bet on it. I will say
Speaker 1: this isn't gonna be an easier year to trade up
Speaker 1: into the top ten than most years. Yeah, because a
Speaker 1: lot of teams is gonna be looking to trade down.
Speaker 1: We are back up now with pick to twenty two.
Speaker 1: This is to pick that they got from the chiefs
Speaker 1: um and so you got Marquise Bell, the safety. He's
Speaker 1: an interesting guy. I don't know if you know much
Speaker 1: about him where he from. He started out at Maryland
Speaker 1: but got suspended prior to the two thousand and seventeen
Speaker 1: season opener as a freshman. Okay, so then he went
Speaker 1: to Florida and M and really kind of was a
Speaker 1: was a you know, basically a three year starter at
Speaker 1: Florida A and M and is now. But he's a
Speaker 1: strong safety six two six two o five. Uh, has
Speaker 1: a you know, it's kind of a thumper. Um. I
Speaker 1: mean to keep special teams in mind in this neighborhood
Speaker 1: the draft, and he sure sounds like a special teamer
Speaker 1: to me too. He also had five interceptions in nineteen
Speaker 1: so I mean you got some got some hands there. Um,
Speaker 1: I had no problem with that. Pick. Mean, I think
Speaker 1: the safety in this neighborhood makes a lot of sense. Yeah,
Speaker 1: probably active on game day. You know, we don't know
Speaker 1: if Edmonds is back or not whenever we're on the
Speaker 1: board here or what's going on, but they would have
Speaker 1: something at that position. I wouldn't be at a total,
Speaker 1: total gaping hole at this point. I would think that
Speaker 1: Tomlin and Canada would know a little bit about the
Speaker 1: situation that went on at Maryland that ended up getting
Speaker 1: him suspended. Yeah yeah, yeah, it was supposedly a student
Speaker 1: conduct thing. Um, so you know, was that cheating on
Speaker 1: a test was that, you know, I don't know, but
Speaker 1: they'll have a pretty good idea. And he's kept his
Speaker 1: nose clean at the Florida and M. So I mean
Speaker 1: it wasn't violence against a woman or something like that. No,
Speaker 1: nothing like that. There were there there were no police charges.
Speaker 1: Let's put it that way, because I actually I actually
Speaker 1: researched that one a little bit because I saw that.
Speaker 1: I saw that show up on this thing. I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 1: was he arrested? Did something happened? There was no arrest involved, So, um,
Speaker 1: I'm intrigued. Yeah. The other safety available on O'Neill Jr.
Speaker 1: At a Texas A and M. Do you know much
Speaker 1: about him? Very little? Another another in the box sage guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I say he's more of a strong I know that
Speaker 1: much about him. But UM actually have Lancer line safety
Speaker 1: ranks up and those two are neck and neck is
Speaker 1: like the last guys he ranked as the almost exact
Speaker 1: same grades. I just pulled them both up. Yeah, let's
Speaker 1: take let's take Bell. I think they'll have a lot
Speaker 1: more background information on him. I like the length of
Speaker 1: the height too. Yeah, yeah, I mean that's how you know,
Speaker 1: that's one of the things that was underrated about Edmonds
Speaker 1: has been his ability to match up on tight ends
Speaker 1: because of his height and athleticism. Back to the linebacker conversation,
Speaker 1: That's why I like some of those six three six
Speaker 1: four linebackers too. Yeah, right, plus a different shape than
Speaker 1: Bush right yeah. Um, Okay, we're back up here. Do
Speaker 1: we do we feel like we have to take a
Speaker 1: linebacker here? Or we at this point? I mean it's
Speaker 1: so late. No, I'm not just getting one to add
Speaker 1: to the roster. I want somebody that's gonna be a
Speaker 1: potential Day one starter, and I think you can get
Speaker 1: that on the second day. In this phase of the draft.
Speaker 1: I'm just taking depth guys. Yeah. To me, that doesn't
Speaker 1: it's not that big a deal. Alright, So we got
Speaker 1: the top guys available. Ellis Brooks out of Penn State. Um,
Speaker 1: he's more of a thumper type, was one year starter
Speaker 1: at Penn State at linebacker. You got Vernon McKinley. We
Speaker 1: already took a safety, so we're probably gonna do that chance.
Speaker 1: Chance Campbell out of Old Missile linebacker, Darryl Baker cornerback
Speaker 1: at the Georgia's Southern UM Rock Hoffman. I don't know
Speaker 1: much about Baker, but a small school developmental corner with
Speaker 1: traits would be really interesting here. You know, the guy
Speaker 1: that might be destined for the practice squad, but if
Speaker 1: he has traits and I'm just guessing that because he's
Speaker 1: a small school guy, you know that would have some
Speaker 1: interest in me. Um, best offensive lineman available. I never
Speaker 1: thinks a bad idea at the end of the draft either,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, they rarely hit, but when they do,
Speaker 1: it's a nice work. You know, it goes a long way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I hear you. They're um just looking here, there's not
Speaker 1: much available. Um, Nick Ford out of Utah Guard. He
Speaker 1: got Ben Brown out of Old Miss Stuart Reese out
Speaker 1: of Florida. Um, I think you and I would prefer
Speaker 1: that they go to the veteran route here. But it's
Speaker 1: a bad running back class, but it's a deep one,
Speaker 1: you know, like it wouldn't blow me away if in
Speaker 1: the six or seventh round there's a two five pound
Speaker 1: guys somebody, Yeah, somebody that shouldn't be available the Jews.
Speaker 1: You know that isn't every down back at all. But
Speaker 1: he's you know, a smart plug. Yeah, I just I
Speaker 1: just did a mock draft today on the DK Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: Sports and the kid out of Georgia was still available
Speaker 1: in the seventh round, Like yeah, right, there's no way, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's no way, right, but he was, so I took him. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of names and it's mid
Speaker 1: round running backs that I mean, how many teams are
Speaker 1: gonna draft a running back fifteen or something? So if
Speaker 1: you get the thirteenth one on the board, it could
Speaker 1: be a nice compliment. Yeah. Um, I'm just looking here
Speaker 1: at let's let's take a look at some of these
Speaker 1: developmental corners. So this is where you get those guys
Speaker 1: from the small school guys. That's the thing in a
Speaker 1: small school corner that runs well in his long arms
Speaker 1: and his work in progress, you know, draft as those guys.
Speaker 1: You've got Darryl Baker Jr. At a Georgia Southern. You've
Speaker 1: got the Jeon Warren at a Jackson State. That's interesting
Speaker 1: to me because who's the coach at Jackson State? Right,
Speaker 1: He's a former NFL Hall of Fame cornerback. Right, you
Speaker 1: think you would think Jean Warren got some pretty good
Speaker 1: coaching on how to play cornerback. Um, you got Ali
Speaker 1: Green out of Missouri, got Ziam McCollum out of sam
Speaker 1: Houston State, DeMarcus Fields out of Texas Tech, Tyreek Castro
Speaker 1: Fields out of Penn State. I assume three castro fields
Speaker 1: will test very well to combine, because the Penn Steak
Speaker 1: guys always do. Um. I've heard good things about him too,
Speaker 1: Like I'm kind of all the names you mentioned that one.
Speaker 1: Maybe my eyebrow go off available, you know, because people
Speaker 1: talk pretty highly if it wasn't a big interception guy,
Speaker 1: if memory serves it at Penn State. Um, but I
Speaker 1: bet he has traits. Oh, I'm sure he will. Let's
Speaker 1: do it. Okay, works for me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Was
Speaker 1: that our last pick? No, we have one remaining and
Speaker 1: much like we do in our no, that was our
Speaker 1: last pick. Never mind. Yeah, okay, I always I always
Speaker 1: take uh Connor Hayward with my last pick. But nice,
Speaker 1: just because I think that's what they're gonna do, one
Speaker 1: way or another. Connor Hayward will be a Steeler. It's good,
Speaker 1: mo Joe. So what we ended up with was Kenny
Speaker 1: Pickett at pick twenty in the first round. And I
Speaker 1: know every time I talked about talk about that, uh,
Speaker 1: people on my site talk, well, there's just no way
Speaker 1: he'll be available at twenty. Don't be so quick to
Speaker 1: say that's the case, pete Um. There's nothing a lot
Speaker 1: of quarterback movement between now in the draft. I mean,
Speaker 1: if the Saints re signed Winston and Washington trains for
Speaker 1: Garopolo all of a sudden there out of the quarter
Speaker 1: to nineteen picks, there's not a fun of landing spot
Speaker 1: for Denver. Denver does so you know there's a lot
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen here, Yeah, exactly. So I don't know
Speaker 1: that there'll be as many needs as you think. There
Speaker 1: could be more, could be more, yeah, right. Uh. Then
Speaker 1: we took Travis Jones, the interior nose tackle out of Yukon.
Speaker 1: We took it eighty four Sky More, the wide receiver
Speaker 1: out of Western Michigan had a just an outstanding season
Speaker 1: in past year. We got a developmental tackle in Max
Speaker 1: Mitchell out of Louisiana and round four, same spot where
Speaker 1: you got Kevin Dotson a couple of years ago. That
Speaker 1: worked out. Okay, Uh, we got them Mark case Bell,
Speaker 1: the safety out of Florida A and M at pick two.
Speaker 1: We're missing a pick there. We should have had another pick.
Speaker 1: They must not have they haven't factored in something. M
Speaker 1: one of the we're missing a pick. That's why the
Speaker 1: Connor Heyward thing, that's where I missed that up. I
Speaker 1: don't think they may have missed. Uh maybe they haven't
Speaker 1: added yet. Then a lot of these websites haven't added
Speaker 1: the Kansas City draft pick yet. Yeah, you mentioned that
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. They're not all caught up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but anyway, so then we took Tarik Castro Fields cornerback
Speaker 1: out of Penn State in the with our last pick.
Speaker 1: At Okay, do you know what we should start doing
Speaker 1: is before we hit start on the draft, we should say, hypothetically,
Speaker 1: the Steelers have done this, this, and this already. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like two, it's back in
Speaker 1: the mix, and they signed a guard, but they haven't
Speaker 1: touched the quarterback positions. Actually I actually did that the
Speaker 1: other day. I did a like a looking at the
Speaker 1: Steelers over the next two months thing on on d
Speaker 1: K Pittsburgh Sports where I kind of laid out the
Speaker 1: diverging what could have Okay, if they do this, that
Speaker 1: means that that they you know, they're out of the
Speaker 1: you know, a line offensive lineman market. Uh, in the
Speaker 1: draft more than likely. Um, you know if right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's one of those kind of things, and there's a
Speaker 1: lot of different there's a lot of different paths that
Speaker 1: they can take and much of it depends on what
Speaker 1: they do at quarterback of course, of course, and that'll
Speaker 1: be hard for us. But our next mock, we should say,
Speaker 1: let's pretend they signed a guard Edmonds and Juju, you know,
Speaker 1: but they have some but Chukes is gone or you know,
Speaker 1: instead of just would I would have a better idea
Speaker 1: of needs. Yeah, absolutely, there's no there's no doubt about that. Well,
Speaker 1: within the next three weeks or so, maybe the next month,
Speaker 1: we'll have a much better idea of that. Yeah, I understand.
Speaker 1: What's up. Yeah, that's gonna end today's show. Um So,
Speaker 1: for my partner Matt Williamson, I'm Dale Lally. We appreciate
Speaker 1: you listening to this edition of The Drive on Steelers
