... if they don't tag him, I mean.

what are thoughts about bringing in Tyler Eifert?  I get his is also risk prone but he an Mcdonald when healthy would be tough to match up against?
Brian Batko
12:53
They would, but you already have one guy who's fairly unreliable at that spot, and what happens if both go down? You're running Zach Gentry out there as a starter in Year 2? Gentry could yet pan out, but he has a long way to go to show he's varsity-capable, I think.

I would like to see the steelers  draft a running back in the mold of fast Willie Parker.  Do you think this could happen?
Brian Batko
12:55
Well, Willie was an undrafted guy himself, so maybe they can unearth another gem. I think the Steelers COULD draft a running back, I just don't necessarily think they will, and I definitely don't think they should. Let's see where they're at with Conner and Co. this time a year from now.

Brian, is Dangerfield a FA or is he signed?
Brian Batko
12:57
Jordan Dangerfield is a restricted free agent. Certainly no guarantee that he'll make the 53 again next year out of camp.

Will Bud D. be exclusive or non exclusive tag? Thanks B.B.!
Brian Batko

Have to imagine it'll be exclusive.

Hey BB....Who would YOU draft with our first pick?
Brian Batko

Might change my mind once or twice or five times between now and when the Steelers are on the clock at 49 overall, but I'll say Brycen Hopkins, tight end from Purdue.
