Thoughts from you on any players next Thursday that the Steelers may move up to grab and give up a lttle capital to do so?  On a side note, so happy to hear I will still have you, ray, brian and paul as my go to Steeler insiders beyond May.  Thankful

If they thought a big-time safety were in their range, I could see that

Gerry, what is your craziest draft story?
Gerry Dulac
10:37
I got too many to document here. Maybe a book one day

What’s your best guess currently for first pick.
Gerry Dulac
10:37
I still have a week to come up with it.

8 days away from Draft, is No. 8 going to announce a decision? Your X post is saying something?
Gerry Dulac
10:38
Haha...Bill in PA! I like that. They think he might by next Thursday

Top TE and a Top WR on the board at 21…. Where do you think the Steelers go with the pick ?
Gerry Dulac
10:39
Depends on the grade they have on each. More than likely, the top WR in the draft would be gone by then. So, too, with the top TE, though he has better chance to still be hovering.

When will Mason Rudolph be traded if Aaron Rodgers comes back and the Steelers draft a QB?
Gerry Dulac
10:39
All that is still to be determined

Hello Gerry, how many players do you believe the Steelers would trade up for? Because I could imagine Jordyn Tyson being around at 15 and they could probably get away with swapping firsts and then giving up one of the plethora of day 2 picks that they have? I'll hang up and listen
Gerry Dulac
10:40
I don't know that they would trade up for a WR because the draft is pretty deep with them. Also, they made a big move already when they traded for Pittman

Good Morning Gerry, Do you believe Hines Ward will get into the HOF? He was such an amazing player and changed the WR position for the better.
Gerry Dulac
10:41
I still have my doubts because it gets harder every year. That being said, he should get in. He always has my vote. But he needs to get to that final 15 first

"Aaron will have an answer before free agency", "We expect Aaron to have an answer before the combine", "We hope to have answer before the draft"; how long until we hear that Aaron Rodgers is not coming back afterall?
Gerry Dulac
10:42
Which is why I think he's coming back. And so do they

Hi Gerry, would it be best for the organization to let AR go off to retirement and give Howard and a newly drafted QB a chance to earn the spot? If they fail, another QB can be drafted in 2027
Gerry Dulac
10:43
No. They don't see it that way. They are not a bottom-feeder team. They have been to the postseason five of the past six years. Only one team can say that. They feel they are close enough to make a run. They are not prepared to make such a rash decision, even though they eventually will

Gerry, did the Steelers have Kayden McDonald in for a visit?  I don’t see his name listed, but I thought he was one of the first guys they had brought in.  Getting a guy like him to put between Harmon and Benton, with Cam and Black also there of course, would make the d-line a team strength for years!  Don’t you agree?
Gerry Dulac
10:43
I'll have to check my list, but I would agree
Mike-EE

Gerry, how many roster spots are potentially open for rookies? My estimate is no more than 5. What do you do with 12 draft selections? They were supposed to help trade up for a QB but this class is poor.
Gerry Dulac
10:44
Exactly right. That's why they need to pare their picks to 8, if not fewer.
Burghie

Gerry, Vega Ionae is a very clean prospect, however, Fano can play tackle and guard/Proctor can play tackle and guard/Freeling can play either tackle spot (I think you know where I am going with this); so does Ionae's inability to play both tackle and guard shy the Steelers away from taking him?
Gerry Dulac
10:44
I don't think so. Not if they really like him
Burghie
10:49
A lot of non-golf followers (Stephen A. Smith) are trying to spin the story of Rory having an unfair advantage since he played Augusta before The Masters. Guess they do not realize all players are able to, and it is not like he played tournament conditions beforehand.
Gerry Dulac
10:50
Among the most ridiculous things I ever heard. Not surprising, though, for him

Hi Gerry, any view on the likelihood of a potential trade up for the Safety Caleb Downs? Seems unanimous that he will be excellent. Or maybe even Styles?
Gerry Dulac
10:50
It would be excellent. Doesn't mean it will be feasible. That's what makes Rd 1 so exciting.
10:51
OK kids, we're out of time. Thanx for all the kind words about the return of the PG. While it was a relief and good news to the people who work there, it is also great news for the city and journalism!
