College and in local amateur/pro events

Could the Steelers be a potential trade partner for Dexter Lawrence if the Giants honor his request?
Gerry Dulac
11:17
I think they're done with big-time trades

sorry for the baseball question in the Steelers chat but it looks like no money Nutting "paid the Man'.  Do you think we will take a swing at keeping Skenes?
Gerry Dulac
11:17
Sorry for the baseball answer -- he should!

In your opinion, what position is currently flying under the radar that nobody is discussing for the Steelers that they may surprise and draft a lot higher than many wouldn’t think?
Gerry Dulac
11:18
TE
Tonk

Any idea of which current/former players will be signing autographs at the draft ?
Gerry Dulac
11:18
Sorry, I do not

more observation than question... have you noticed how similar Aaron Rodgers and AR2 voices are?
Gerry Dulac
11:18
I know their initials are the same

If Caleb Downs drops to 10-15 range, could you see them moving up like they did with Troy P?  Is the position that much of need in your opinion that such a move would make sense?
Gerry Dulac
11:20
Nothing would surprise me. Safety isn't necessarily a need, not now, but it would be getting an elite player that could fit somewhere

Hi Gerry. What's the setup in the draft room? Do they have a board with the players names and ranking or is it mostly electronic these days?
Gerry Dulac
11:20
No more boards I'm told. All electronic

Hi Gerry! Thanks for the chats. It seems to me that the Steelers have signed a lot of players that play in the secondary, and much talk of taking more in the early rounds. How many will make the roster?
Gerry Dulac
11:21
They might take one in the early rounds, maybe. But not more.

Will this be a depth draft? Is there any position that cries for a starter draft pick?
Gerry Dulac
11:26
Not really, not even WR. Possibly LG

I know you are down on Allar with the belief that he is a choke artist, but I watched all of his games at PSU too and would place that blame on two factors: terrible coaching and a lack of talented receivers.  That said, IF Allar is still available in Round 3, what do you think the chances are that the Steelers will draft him?  His size and arm strength are far superior to Will Howard's, and people forget that Howard choked and lost to Michigan that Nat'l Championship year - which may be the bigger game on their schedule considering that rivalry.
Gerry Dulac
11:28
You are correct on all fronts about Allar. But the difference is, Howard "choked" in one big game; Allar "choked" in all of 'em

Time for AR2 to either retire or cash out.  An owner who clearly would prefer to have Tomlin back and win 9-10 games and be embarrassed in the playoffs consistently is the Steelers biggest problem.  Family , problem, I see why fans call him Fredo.  Until AR2 is gone, doesn’t really matter who the Steelers draft.
Gerry Dulac
11:28
I'll let him know you think so

Looking around the AFC North, how do you rate the four teams in improving over the offseason and who either stayed the same or regressed? Who will battle for the title?
Gerry Dulac
11:29
Steelers and Ravens improved the most. But, as long as Burrow is healthy, Bengals have a chance to battle

Hi Gerry-  is the jury truly out on whether 20 was drafted way too high?   How do you see Herbig’s situation playing out?
Gerry Dulac
11:31
He was drafted on the third round. No, I don't think that's high. I see the Steelers WANTING to extend Herbig. But, as long as Watt and Highsmith are around, I see Herbig WANTING to test the FA market. And why wouldn't he? As an edge rusher, there's a lot of desperate cash out there for that.

Do you think the NFL will soon permit corporate sponsor patches on game jerseys?  All of the other leagues are (unfortunately) doing it.
Gerry Dulac
11:31
No

Please tell me that that hideous throwback uniform from 2025 will never see the light of day again. Worse than the bumblebee jersey!
Gerry Dulac
11:32
Those jerseys don't bother me. It's one game. Let em have their fun

When you are covering training camp, is it obvious who are winning the player position competitions?
Gerry Dulac
11:32
Yes, though usually I know who's "winning" those competitions before camp even starts

Do you believe safety, especially Downs and Thieneman (both would look great in the black n gold), are worthy trade up candidates in two weeks?
Gerry Dulac
11:35
They might be worthy for sure. But don't know if they would do it.
epiballo
11:35
Does Rodgers make his decision before the draft? If he does, that will cut way down on chat questions!
Gerry Dulac
11:35
Haha...let's hope
epiballo

In your view, who was the greatest running back in Steeler history?
Gerry Dulac
11:36
There is only one, and it's unquestionable.
epiballo
11:38
Were you in Three Rivers for the Immaculate Reception? I was and that is my greatest Steeler memory.
