Good morning from the combine in Indy. We will get started in just a few minutes.....
9:54
OK, let's get started.....
Horatio Sanz

Would you put Aaron Rodgers return above or below 90%?
Gerry Dulac
9:54
That's too high, so I'd say below

Thoughts on Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith being on the team next season?
Gerry Dulac
9:55
Ramsey will be back. Don't think the same applies to Smith.
Johnny Sinns

If Will Howard is the prospect the Steelers are making him out to be, why would they draft Ty Simpson in the 1st round?
Gerry Dulac
9:55
Who said they would...Mel Kiper??

Hi Gerry. Any Steelers free agent signings that you’d like to see that would move the needle for next season? Also, with Tomlin now gone and based on poor recent results, do you think there will be a shift from less expensive, older free agents on the downside? Thanks!
Gerry Dulac
9:57
I sure hope so. I think they need to go back to their old ways of signing UFAs who are coming off their first contract and still have an upside. This idea of bringing in 30-something players is hurting them long term. I know why they're doing it -- because they believe these guys might help them finally win a playoff game. But it's usually a short-term solution with no long-term benefit

Since the QB class is weak and the Steelers have obvious need at WR, will that group be getting most of your attention this week? Not sure how much you get to interact with the players but can you get any indication of where their mind and attitude is vs just physical skills?
Gerry Dulac
9:58
Other than a 15-minute interview session, we don't get to interact with any players. But WR and QB will be getting a lot of the Steelers attention this week.

Hey Ger. Does the Broderick Jones neck injury make the Steelers a threat to draft a left tackle in the 1st round?
Gerry Dulac
9:59
No, they have bigger issues than that.
Tony

I would like to see them give Will Howard a chance to see what they have. I would still draft a quarterback though.
Gerry Dulac
10:00
I think both can be true
Harry Callas

How many of these guys get extensions this offseason? Joey Porter Jr Keeanu Benton Nick Herbig Darnell Washington?
Gerry Dulac
10:01
I think Porter will for sure. They can't extend everyone. It's tough to extend a backup like Herbig.

Were you surprised that MT didn’t give Art any notice he was going to quit?  Seems like a selfish move to not give the owner that has been very good to him for almost 2 decades a heads-up.
Gerry Dulac
10:02
Not at all. And it's not selfish. Why would giving him a heads up matter anyway?
Steel Town D
10:02
If Rodger’s comes back and we hit on a WR and DB in the draft do you think we can beat a 10-7 season?
Gerry Dulac
10:03
I actually though they could last season. I thought they could be 11-6. They almost were. But we'll see. Still not sure how QB will play out
Pistol33
10:03
Good morning Gerry!!  Hearing anything on if they have interest in specific Qb's there?? I dont think they scouted them all so hard not to take one pretty high. What say you?
Gerry Dulac
10:03
Little too early for that, but they are giving them the once-over and more.
Steel Town D
10:03
is there any chance we see a career year out of 88 with McCarthy calling plays?  I know he is not afraid to use the whole field.
Gerry Dulac
10:05
Hopefully, but 88 had some pretty good career years before 2025. His lack of utilization still amazes me.
Tom in Dallas
10:05
With Omar's update on Jones, possibly not being ready for the start of training camp, does that change the draft strategy on taking an OL, possibly sooner than they might have been planning?
Gerry Dulac
10:06
Possibly, but I don't think they're ready to push the panic button just yet. They've known all along his recovery would take some time.
Tom in Dallas
10:06
The biggest story this year is Tomlin out/McCarthy in.  What is the next biggest Steeler story line this winter and as we lead up to the draft?  Whether AR is in or out, or something else?
Gerry Dulac
10:06
You got it. If he's out, who's in?
Jim Bow Dean
10:06
If Caleb Downs falls out of the top 10 do they move up to get him? According to AI going from 21 to 11 would take a first, a third, and a fourth or fifth. Given the multiple picks they have in the third and fourth I’d do it.
Gerry Dulac
10:07
Good thing you're not the GM
Kool aid man
10:07
Is there a team that comes close to acquiring comp picks like the Steelers?  They are presenting a master class on roster management and acquiring extra quality picks.
Gerry Dulac
10:07
You are the first person to make that point. Congrats to you

What's your favorite meal during the combine in Indy?

Hi Gerry. Do you believe Payton Wilson can play strong safety? He's probably one of the fastest and athletically gifted players on the team. I believe he would play as well as Hamilton. The knock on him coming out of college was him not being a run stuffer.
Gerry Dulac
10:08
No I do not. I like him right where he is
Fat Rob
10:08
I believe the Steelers must get an Aaron Rodgers decision prior to free agency. What receivers will come here without knowing who the quarterback is? What quarterback will come here not knowing if Rodgers is playing. It is irresponsible if the Steelers allow this to happen!
Gerry Dulac
10:08
I'll tell them.
