You picking Rory to win the Masters was laughable. He's choked for NINE years in the majors and at this point is a hasbeen. What were you thinking?
Gerry Dulac
10:09
Musta been taking too many chat questions. Yeah, ridiculous to think a four-time major champion who is No. 3 in the world could win the Masters.

Thank you for this forum Mr Dulac. For salary cap planning down the line, and considering that he continues to develop in a positive way,  what type of money do you think Pickett will be seeking in an extension of his rookie contract  ?
Gerry Dulac
10:09
First, he has to prove he is worthy of an extension. And how much won't be determined for two more years.

Hi, Garry, and thanks for your time and insight. I see this team making moves that are common sense, and proactive. If it all comes together, and they manage to get 3 or four rookie starters to join the roster from the top 49 picks, then from my estimation this team can be incredibly solid,  and do some damage this year.  I know that's a lot of "what if's'," but I honestly think they are doing a fantastic job of covering their 6 in a lot of areas. That being said, what are your thoughts on how the current brass is guiding the ship, because I'm impressed.
Gerry Dulac
10:10
I'm agreeing with you Jean

Hello . Thank you as always for the chat . Steelers have hired an addition to the coaching staff who has title of offensive assistant . He has worked as a coach with Falcons . Do you know what would be his role with Steelers since Steelers already have a QB coach ? Would he have any role in devising game plan ? Thank you very much .
Gerry Dulac
10:11
I would imagine his role is to provide insight, ideas and evaluate. But don't think he will be taking over the offense.

Do you have a gut feeling on any particiluar player(s) theyre leaning towards in the draft?
Gerry Dulac
10:11
As of right now, no. Soon, though
Bill

Is there a downside to having TOO MANY draft picks like the Raiders (12) and the 49ers (11). How many can realistically make a team anyway?
Gerry Dulac
10:12
Not at all. First of all, depends how bad the team is. Maybe they need an influx of new players. Secondly, the added benefit of having extra draft capital is the ability to package those picks to make a trade to move up in a round.
Bill
10:12
Do you call on their cell phones and speak to Art Rooney and Mike Tomlin off the record to get some of your info?
Gerry Dulac
10:13
Bill, now why would I answer that?
Tim
10:13
Ultimate tease a few weeks ago when you said Steelers love 2 of these 3 players.  Wright, Ringo and Brasee.  Well, which 2 do they love??
Gerry Dulac
10:13
Tim, you will have to wait and see

It seems like there might be a chance one of top 4 tackles makes it to 17.  If they do, would they prioritize a tackle over say Porter or Banks who also might still be there since CD depth is much deeper?
Gerry Dulac
10:15
I think if a CB they really like is available, they will take him. And I'd go easy on that deep CB depth stuff, in case you haven't noticed.
Bill
10:15
Which offensive linemen do you predict won’t make the 53 man roster? Kendrick Greene? Kevin Dotson? Both?
Gerry Dulac
10:15
Green for sure.

Hello . Thank you as always for the chat . Do you know if Dupree just did not pass physical or they could not agree on the money ? I thought that if they brought him for a visit , they must have already talked money . Is his return still a possibility? Thank you very much .
Gerry Dulac
10:16
He passed his physical and when he met with the Steelers they did not discuss a contract -- nor had they previously.
Bill
10:16
If I am Omar, I sign Mason Rudolph to a 3 year contract for $ 6 million and cut inconsistent and hardly uses his mobility anyway $ 8 million this year only Mitch Tribusky. Why doesn’t this make sense?
Gerry Dulac
10:17
Because you're not Mason Rudolph and you weren't demoted and you were never given a chance in the preseason and you never dressed for only one game.
Matt
10:17
What are your thoughts of the first four picks being OT, C, DT, CB?
Gerry Dulac
10:17
I think you have them in reverse order.
Hogan
10:18
Gerry, ever play Harbor Town?  Also, is Mystic Rock overrated? Feel like more could have been done with some of the holes. Number 1 is a pretty bland hole….
Gerry Dulac
10:18
I never have. Played many places in and around Hilton Head but never there sadly. And, yeah, No. 1 not much of a starting hole.
Mr. Wick
10:18
Is there any scenario where Rudolf returns as the #3 if he doesn't sign elsewhere or would he be content to sit out and hope a needy team picks him up mid-season. That's assuming the Steelers would even want him as #3 now.
Gerry Dulac
10:19
Absolutely the Steelers would want him. But the reverse isn't true.
Jerry
10:19
Why do I see some many "experts" predicting Johnson or Jones, the best OT, to the steelers at 17?   I just dont see 16 picks and only one of those getting taken.   Or are they not seen as being elite OTs by other teams?
Gerry Dulac
10:20
There are questions whether those players are plug-and-play guys. Might even be better suited at another position.
KennySmallHands
10:20
Should we accept deonte banks as the inevitable?  Classic coach mike connection pick.  Seems all too likely
Gerry Dulac
10:20
No we shouldn't.
The Dude
10:20
What would you say are the Steeler chances of OT Jones or Johnson in the first round? I assume if available they would take either guy.
Gerry Dulac
10:21
Don't assume too much. I'm not going to rule out a LT by any stretch. It just depends who is still on the board and what their grades are on a particular player.
Happy 412 day
10:21
How many more years for Heinz Acrisure?
Gerry Dulac
10:21
14 for sure

Hi Gerry! - I find it very interesting to be in our position with the 1st pick in the 2nd round. We get the 1st shot at the the players that were thought to be 1st round picks. Great opportunity to get a full day to reevaluate the draft board and perhaps take advantage of the time to get offers from other teams. Thoughts?
Gerry Dulac
10:22
No question, it's an enviable position.
