Where does the PPG Steelers team plan to watch the draft from?

Everywhere you look, everywhere you go
There's a heart, a hand to hold onto
Everywhere you look, everywhere you go
There's a face of somebody who needs you
But in all seriousness, we'll mostly be at the team facility like any other year, but look for us at our live draft party. Details to come.

Kudos to PittTiminJax! Being competitive and not having a losing season in over 20 years is special and should be more appreciated.

Why are our southern-based Steelers fans so pollyanna today? Must be the nice weather.

Do you feel Aaron Rodgers has become hostile towards the Steelers based on money or other factors?  It seems only someone without the greatest intentions would leave a team out to dry like he has.  Especially with an entirely new coaching staff and the draft so close.

I don't get the vibe that he's hostile at all. He's just ... Aaron Rodgers. The Steelers knew what they were getting into when they went down that road. All-time great player but also an all-time inscrutable individual.

Thanks for sticking JCM in my head

That was the Full House theme song but I'm never one to turn down John Cougar

Saw online rumors about the Steelers trading Highsmith.  Delusional fans think the Steelers can get a first round pick for him.  One even thinks they could get two.  What's Highsmith's actual trade value?
Brian Batko
11:06
Probably a 3rd, maybe even less because of the injury history.

Blunder: Russell Wilson interception in Super Bowl.
Brian Batko

Well, not a Steelers moment per se but yeah that's even worse considering it was the Super Bowl.

Hi Mongoose. Thank you ever so kindly for having these chats. Be sure to tune in soon to hear me say limits 408 times

Do you think Theinman or McNeil Warren would be a better fit for steelers.
Brian Batko
11:09
Dillon Thieneman, not close. Speed and range in the deep third is what they need, on top of just being a better prospect in my opinion.

If the Steelers have the chance and pass on the PSU guard, are there other options available that can step in and start immediately?  Just seems like that is OL is most pressing.  We now have a 1 and 2 for WR.  The Oregon S would be nice but still, OL makes the whole offense go.

Emmanuel Pregnon, left guard from Oregon, can start Day 1 from what I've seen. And for the sake of his stock, he better be that, because he's a sixth-year senior. But he is a beast.

My Steelers blunder would be Plaxico spiking the ball after a catch  without having been touched by the Jaguars. Didn’t cost them the game, but still a dumb mistake.
   But the all-time crusher will always be Barry Bonds failing to throw out the slowest man in baseball, thereby losing the National League title.
Brian Batko

Yep, as far as Pittsburgh sports goes, the Duke turnover is fairly similar to Pirates-Braves Game 7.

Maddox throwing an INT in the OT vs. the Jags in 2005.
Brian Batko

Eh, regular season loss. Not nearly as brutal.
11:13
But OK, here's my Steelers pick, given that it ended their season: Ike Taylor getting burned by Demaryius Thomas on the Tim Tebow throw. Ballgame.
That'll do it for me today, folks. Happy Easter, if you celebrate, and have a fantastic week.
