Yep

The Steelers already have 3 QB's so they aren't going to draft another.  Why can't people grasp this?
Gerry Dulac
10:27
That's not the point. They might be willing to take a top QB, if one is available, who they think can be their long-term replacement for Ben. But, with a defense that kept them from advancing in the postseason, their top picks -- 3 of the first 4 -- should all be devoted to defense.

Where do you see the AFC North as a whole at the moment. To me it seems the Browns have improved while the Bengals and Ravens have stayed about the same. Thoughts?
Gerry Dulac
10:28
Agreed. I like what the Browns did. I think they can triple their win total from last season. Wait a minute .... three times nothing is still nothing

Gerry, What was more of a turning point in the Steelers 2017 season in your opinion- Shazier's  injury or the overturned TD late against the Patriots? Do the Steelers make the SB if one or the other never happen?
Gerry Dulac
10:29
50's injury
Tyler

Why do people think that all OLBs can play inside?
Gerry Dulac
10:29
Who knows, but some can. Like, I think TJ Watt can play inside. Dupree? No.
Leaper
10:29
Barring anything crazy, do you still see ILB-S in the first two rounds?
Gerry Dulac
10:30
If I had to bet, yes, but Burnett's signing, like I said earlier, reduces the urgency
Tyler
10:30
The Jets have 5 QBs and they’re going to draft one.
Gerry Dulac
10:30
That's why they're the Jets

With our FA signings is it safe to say that we are still looking for starting caliber ILB and Safety but are no longer drafting for that need?  If one of the edge rushers or even interior lineman are rated higher than the existing ILB's or Safeties think we would take one?
Gerry Dulac
10:30
I think they still desire an ILB very high.
Leaper
10:30
Say they do draft a QB, no way they keep 4, who goes?
Gerry Dulac
10:30
Dobbs
Tyler
10:30
TEs taken in the first round can catch and block.  Gesicki can’t block.  From your previous chat comments it seems like you don’t think blocking is important for TEs.
Gerry Dulac
10:31
Not when you have a receiving talent like that. Does Antonio Brown block????
Chase W
10:31
Do you also get sick of people every year wishing Ben's career away and wanting to draft his replacement? Ben wants to play for another 2 year so why not build win now talent around him now?  I'm assuming that is their game plan?
Gerry Dulac
10:32
That is. They are not interested in 2020 or 2021. They are interested in 2018
Leaper
10:32
Do you see Wilcox staying?
Gerry Dulac
10:32
Right now, yes.
Chase W
10:32
Do you think that Shaquem Griffin will still be available for us in the 4th? Great leader and athlete.
Gerry Dulac
10:33
He is. His combine time was freakish. I'm not sure where that kid will go. Someone will take him. Why not? Forget his disability
Tyler
10:33
Brown is a WR not a TE.  They’re expected to block.
Gerry Dulac
10:33
Thanks for that insight
Leaper
10:33
Do you think they're already targeting Bryant's replacement?
Gerry Dulac
10:33
Not necessarily. But he has just one more year on his contract and I don't see them extending him. Nor do I see him not testing the FA market
Leaper
10:33
Do you see the top 4 ILBs gone before 28?
Gerry Dulac
10:34
Hard to tell
Zane
10:34
Hi Gerry, Do you think Eric Reid would have been a better option for us at Safety? He’s younger and probably would’ve been cheaper because of so called antics
Gerry Dulac
10:34
I don't think they want players w antics. Already had/have that.
Blitz
10:34
Will Burnett end up playing free or strong safety
Gerry Dulac
10:34
I'm sure strong safety. But that's what they will figure out at camp
Scott
10:34
Thank you for answering all of our questions.  Your response time is much quicker than Ed's.
Gerry Dulac
10:35
I think Ed likes to have a bite of his sandwich now and then
Devon
10:35
I feel Martavis is on a nice trajectory from this past season, he got his feet back under him. I hope to see a big impact this season
Gerry Dulac
10:35
They feel the same way, but fingers crossed.

Will the signings of Bostic and Burnett help stop the Jags after they signed Notwel? The Steelers were blown off the ball and the pass rush never got into the same zip code as Bortles.
