Aaaand there goes Devin White. If he was your Steelers first-round pipe dream, my deepest condolences.

Bill Burns

Arians! Darn him!

Devin White is a White Walker. Rides a horse, and his last name is White.

Adam Bittner

8:57

Would have been a heavy lift for the Steelers to trade up that far.

Rocco

8:58

Go get Josh Allen!!

Joey

8:58

Raiders could have swapped with Steelers and both teams get their man

Brian Batko

8:59

Maybe the Steelers find Buffalo as a trading partner at No. 9? I mean, since they couldn't work out that Antonio Brown deal and all ...

Shawn

9:00

No way were Steelers jumping up to 4. Only hope was if white fell past Tampa.

Jon Snow

9:00

Steelers are not moving.

Brian Batko

9:00

So, uh, Giants at 6. This is where things could get wacky, right? Er, wackier than taking good-guy-but-not-viewed-as-a-top-5-pick-by-anyone Clelin Ferrell.

Ryno

9:01

Did I see you will soon be starting a weekly chat?

Brian Batko

9:01

Ryno, yes, I will join Gerry and Ray in their weekly chats. If not this upcoming week, then next.

Adam Bittner

9:02

Daniel Jones to the New York Giants.

Jake in DC

9:03

Wow, this is actually so nuts tbh. Daniel Jones???

Vcoach

9:03

Is Jones a bit of a shock to you?

pdxJaxon

9:03

wow....Daniel Jones eh? Ok

Brian Batko

9:04

Samwell Tarly. Was a 0-star recruit, but benefits from the training of Maester Cutcliffe. Not a sexy pick by any means, but might be able to get your team to where it needs to go.

CD in SC

9:05

Expect the Steelers to do the unexpected as usual.

Guest

9:05

They could have traded down and got him.

DanC

9:05

Wow, amazing how bad most mock drafts have been so far

Brian Batko

9:06

To be fair, Ray Fittipaldo did nail this one https://www.post-gazette.com/sports/steelers/2019/04/24/2019-mock-draf...

Does it seem like teams aren't willing to trade up with some of these picks?

Gravel

9:07

In last 10 years, what is the latest into the 1st round before a trade was made?

Brian Batko

9:07

Take this with a grain of salt, but according to Wikipedia draft pages, everyone made their original pick until No. 15 in 2015.

Adam Bittner

9:08

Josh Allen to Jacksonville.

Jon Snow

9:09

Dang Jacksonville defense just got tougher

Guest

This draft is not falling well for Pittsburgh. We needed a few more QBs to go higher. Although Oakland helped some.

Shawn

9:09

Detroit a threat for bush?

Brian Batko

9:10

Yes

DanC

9:10

For all the trade chatter before the draft, seems like no one can pull the trigger

Brian Batko

9:11

I'm just mad that the Bills didn't end up with Josh Allen and Josh Allen.

Daniel Jones went 0-3 against Pitt.

jeremiah

9:11

Broncos ans Bengals a threat for Dev Bush as well

Brian Batko

9:12

Adam Schefter tweets that Detroit took some calls from teams looking to trade up, but decided to make its pick. Then again, doesn't that probably happen a lot?

Indiana Steelerfan

9:13

I suspect that all teams are getting calls about trading up but the asking price is cost prohibitive.

Manny

9:13

Let's not trade until 12 if devin still there I would think

DanC

9:13

Bold prediction! Steelers will stay at 20 and not take an ILB, Steelers fans will cry all season!

Dominic DeNucci

9:14

No surprise Best TE to the Lions

Adam Bittner

9:14

T.J. Hockenson goes to Detroit.
