They have 1 capable DL. Zero faith in Tuitt or Alualu.

dean is 5'11" so what..have you checked the size of James harrison ?

Brian Batko

10:17

Four picks away from the Steelers. I wonder if there's an outside chance they'd take another WR? But someone small and shifty like Calvin Austin from Memphis. Would be a very different option on offense than George Pickens.

Zamo

Yes Adam he would have helped. Teams will constantly run right down our throat and take away our best defensive player - TJ Watt. If we are constantly in 3rd and short, rinse repeat, rinse, repeat. We have done nothing to improve the biggest weakness this off-season or draft.

Adam Bittner

10:18

Greg Dulcich, UCLA TE, goes to Denver at 80

Just a fan

10:18

So who you picking Adam?

Adam Bittner

10:19

Intrigued by Dean and Faalele. Winfrey seems like the obvious fit, though. Chenal as the dark horse.

Brian Batko

10:19

LSU corner Cordale Flott to the Giants at 81

Dubble07

10:19

Xavier - I'm not trying to convince anyone of that fact -- it'll become readily apparent to people like you all by itself soon enough...

Next Coach

10:19

Hey Dubble - at least we could stop worrying about the secondary. No opponent would even need to throw the ball.

Brian Batko

10:19

Speeding up now, Western KY edge-rusher DeAngelo Malone to the Falcons at 82

pdxJaxon

10:19

WR = Khalil Shakir....id love it although we would still have serious issues on DL

10:20

Worried Steelers have same success drafting qb as corner

darknight

10:20

Dean vs. Harrison comparison is laughable.

ziggi

10:20

Bring in someone like Jarvis Landry and go best available, not a WR, for the last few rounds.

Dave

10:21

Adam/Brian I know we havent discussed RB but any rumblings Steelers will add one in later RDs?

Brian Batko

10:21

Yeah I could see that. But no earlier than their sixth-round pick.

pdxJaxon

10:21

the dean vs harrison size comparison is identical

Dubble07

10:22

NextCoach ,DJ and Zamo all dropping truth bombs in here!

Zamo

10:22

if we ignore DL, I would like Cross from Md. hard hitting safety that can potentially replace Edmunds

Biff

10:22

wouldn't mind a running back to compliment Harris. not sure where people are being picked but i like the kid from Michigan Hassan, and Pierre Strong

darknight

10:22

Could they take another WR? Maybe a slot type. Shakir from Boise St.

Biff

10:23

James Harrison as a rookie was 20 pounds heavier than Dean. and probably 40 by the time he retired.

Brian Batko

10:23

Little bit of a problem solved for the Steelers: Nakobe Dean is going one spot ahead of them, to the Eagles at 81. Reunited with Jordan Davis in Philly. Pittsburgh on the clock.

epiballo

10:24

Still need help against the run

JackSplat

10:24

What about Winfrey in the 3rd?

Jack

10:24

It sux that so many great DT's are off the board, and one went to Baltimore. We need a big run stuffer!

Brian Batko

10:24

I'd take the massive Minnesota RT Daniel Faalele here. Why not? He's 6-8, 384. An intriguing project for a line that needs to get way better.

Zamo

10:25

I really hope Steelers brass has an ace up their sleeves for a run stuffer at some point this draft.

Brian Batko

10:25

Steelers are taking DeMarvin Leal out of Texas A&M. Not quite a DT, not quite a DE, but was a highly rated guy going into last season.

epiballo

10:26

Brian/Adam/Ray - thanks for doing this! Will there be a third tomorrow?

Adam Bittner

10:26

I unfortunately have a wedding to attend.

Zamo

10:27

if it’s not on the D-line, get someone that weighs 300+ That can help the trenches!!!

Adam Bittner

10:29

Here's the Lance Zierlein scouting report from NFL.com: "Early entry defensive lineman who appears to be caught between "best fit" positions at this time. Leal possesses adequate rush skills and knows how to craft a rush plan, but a lack of suddenness and closing burst turns potential sacks into hurries without the help of a long pocket count. When the motor is cranked up, he can stack and slide past run blockers with efficiency and quickness. He didn't put together the tape that was expected and disappointing reps against Evan Neal (Alabama) and Charles Cross (Mississippi State) could create concerns about his pro readiness. Most will see him as an even-front defender in some capacity, but playing 3-4 DE might be his best fit as a pro."

Top NFL comp is John Franklin-Myers

Dave

10:29

Teal that weighs 283 can easily reach 300+ up at St. Vincent cafeteria...easy fix!

Zamo

10:30

Appreciate you guys doing this last 2 days. I’m a passionate fan that reads all your stuff and listen to the pods.

Adam Bittner

10:30

Thanks, Zamo.

10:31

Zierlein projects Leal will "eventually be an average starter"

Marcus Jones, a CB from Houston, goes to the Pats at 85.
