Brian, have you taken a look at Graham's past defenses at all? I know he runs a 3-4 but I am curious if there are any obvious differences to what we have been seeing the past 10 years.

He's run multiple different fronts and structures, from what I can tell, and that's kind of his calling card. Adaptability. There also have been years where he blitzes a lot and years where he hasn't. KYP: Know Your Personnel.

Hey Bats, happy Monday! I don't get the casual fans' take on Cole Payton.  Guy has only started for one year and at a FCS school and they want to draft him in the 3rd round lol.  I'd rather go after a more established prospect like Taylen Green if you are going to do dart throw on an intriguing QB.  I feel that that's a HUGE reach in the 3rd round for Payton.  Honestly, I wouldn't even draft him.  If Green is there in the 4th and your board has fallen the way you want, then why not take him?

Yeah, there's likely not gonna be any real consensus around Cole Payton, given all those factors you mention. You'll have some draft analysts who love him and put him as QB3, and then others who do view him as more of a late-round lottery pick at best. But at least the Steelers have spent a lot of time with him. Tom Arth at his pro day, then the pre-draft visit here. So even if you aren't on board, could you sleep better knowing they've done a lot of homework to form their opinion on him if they take him?

We are in April and I am sure all readers are wondering if the paper will still be in business. If not, WWBD (what will Brian do)? Would you consider relocating?

Well thanks for the concern! I do not know if the P-G will continue on in some form or fashion, though obviously that'd be great. That's above my pay grade, as they say. As for me personally, all I can tell you is I will not be relocating. You won't be reading me on the Dolphins (as much as I'd like the weather) or Orioles or anything. My entire life is here and I hope it continues to include engaging with you all about the Steelers and covering the NFL.

On that note, we've gotta wrap up today's chat. Thanks for rolling through and stay tuned for a mailbag Thursday.
