I don't know

Gerry love the Burnett & Bostic signings. Not playmakers but sure tacklers. My question is do you think the Steelers take another other position besides ILB in 1st round since these signings.
Gerry Dulac

I don't think so, but, remember, they're not going to reach to take an ILB if there are none with a first-round grade. Sometimes, their intentions are not what actually ends up happening. Last year, for example, their target in the first round was Jabrill Peppers, but the Browns beat them to it. So they went to Watt. Their intention is an ILB this year, but we'll see what happens

I think the Steelers would be dumb to draft a QB in the first round.
Gerry Dulac

So do I. Cause he won't play for 3-4 more years. Ben said he wants to play fro 2-3 more years. That puts his replacement under center in 2021.

Good Morning Gerry, how do you feel about the versatility of Burnett & Bostic as players and the flexibility it now affords the defensive backfield?
Gerry Dulac

I like the addition of Burnett, so long as he can stay healthy. Bostic is a nice player who gives them some flexibility if -- and only if -- they take an ILB with the top pick, or certainly the seconds. I can't emphasize enough the key to the 3-4 defense is the play of the LBs. Ask any coach who has used the 3-4. And right now the inside lacks speed without Shazier. It needs to be improved. Otherwise, don't play that defense.

In light of Bostic and Burnett signings, have the draft priorities changed at all?
Gerry Dulac

Nope. See above answers
Well, that's all the time we have today kids. I'll be at the NFL owners meetings next week so I will probably do the chat on Tuesday. Stay tuned.
