Center in my opinion.
Brian Batko

I'm with Ray. Then TE, then ILB, but you're missing CB in my opinion.
Ray Fittipaldo
8:15
My God this is bad television. Just start the draft.
Brian Batko
8:15
Just said the same thing in a group chat with friends. That's where the stuff that can't be said in here goes. Of course, you're all my friends, too.

If you were a player like Dickerson from Alabama wouldn't you try to make sure every team had copies of your medical records if the prognosis was good?
Brian Batko
8:16
I get not starting games on time, but in the draft, there is quite literally a *clock* that sets the pace of the entire evening. OK, enough being grumpy, I guess.
Ray Fittipaldo
8:17
They do have information, but the physicals were done by an independent doctor. They all have the same info.
Dale

yes, this is bad

Thanks for having the chats. Helps make all the drawn out draft stuff more tolerable.

I really like Dickerson, but I'm with Cowher's philosophy:  If you can't stay on the field, you're useless to me.  That's a hard pass.

I remember going to a kid's house on a Tuesday morning way back  in 1987 when he was drafted. No concerts, not even sure if it was on ESPN live. Kid was Brent Fullwood, RB,out of Auburn, went to the Packers No. 4 overall.
Ray Fittipaldo
8:19
What was served at the Fullwood house?
Brian Batko

Steelers didn't have a first-rounder last year. Probably have one more season of Ben. They can't afford to screw up this pick, so I don't think they take the chance on Dickerson. That's how I see it anyway.

The draft is becoming a side show! Just get it started!
ABTennessee

i vote for anyone other than Roger Goodell to MC the draft. He is fingernails on a chalkboard
Ray Fittipaldo
8:20
It's like NHL fans booing Gary Bettman at the Stanley Cup presentation. Like clockwork.
Brian Batko
8:20
Still time for the Steelers to trade up for Trevor, everyone.

A Hard No to Dickerson!

Dickerson in the second round.

My gut says Freiermuth.  Then, take a C at 2 and Sermon at 3.
Ray Fittipaldo
8:22
A lot of late love for Freiermuth.
AZSteel
8:22
Hoping for Humphries at 55. Will he still be there?
Brian Batko
8:22
Pop quiz for all you astute Steelers fans: What's the only position on the roster, other than special teams, that they didn't add or re-sign a single player this offseason?
Ray Fittipaldo
8:22
Creed Humphrey. He might be gone, but there is a chance.
ABTennessee
8:23
TE
fury1
8:23
TE
Yates
8:23
Fullback
TPRanger

They had a lunch (draft was at 11 a.m. I think) but I had to get back to the office to write the story, they were holding the paper. No cells or email then.
Brian Batko
8:24
I suppose fullback is an acceptable answer, but no, I'm talking about TE. Now, they've neglected that No. 2 TE role before, but how much longer can you keep doing that? Unless they already know they're adding someone *cough Jesse James* after the draft.
Ray Fittipaldo
8:24
Nice.

lol.....good evening friends. Im literally INTERVIEWING for a job right now on zoom while monitoring the draft and chattin with ya'll.
Go Steelers
Najee in Round #1 (ETN as the backup plan)
Brian Batko
8:24
Is that job Packers GM?
8:25
Gotta love the Jags using up so much time. Sure can't imagine TV has anything to do with that.
cspicer
8:25
Wouldn't Tremble be a better value in the 3rd for TE?
Brian Batko
8:26
Over Freiermuth. Maybe. But you also don't know if he'll be there.
Paul
8:27
If the top two running backs are gone, why not go big mean tackle, center, and running back in round three? Trey Sermon?
Ray Fittipaldo
8:27
If it's a left tackle I'd be on board with that.
Brian Batko
8:27
Steelers aren't scheduled to face the Jags again until 2023. Will T-Law have 'em in the postseason before then? Will the Steelers themselves be in the playoffs? Things I ponder while we wait for the Jets to pick in 25 minutes.
pdxJaxon
8:28
trey sermon in #2 maybe....not in round 1
Brian Batko
8:28
You could talk me into Sermon at 55, but I've usually seen him projected Round 3.
