I agree w/ Jerry. Matt Patricia and the Lions.

Agree. Lions.

8:30

really smart guy said Miami

Brian Batko

8:30

RIP Kenny Rogers

Jerry Micco

8:31

If the Chargers and Miami both want Tua, then the Chargers need to get ahead of them. Lions, if they want a CB, can move down 3 spots.

8:32

Though Detroit might want to take Simmons. Better player overall.

Ray Fittipaldo

8:33

Simmons is going to be such an interesting player to watch in the NFL. He can play safety, ILB, even edge. Crazy versatility. Just what NFL coaches are looking for.

pdxJaxon

8:33

Ok....so Washington picks chase young right?

Ray Fittipaldo

8:33

Yep

Brian Batko

8:33

Isaiah Simmons stood out to me every time I watched Clemson. Dude was everywhere

pdxJaxon

8:34

Jerry - Agree with Simmons. He is a BEAST

DormontDirtbag

8:34

Simmons may be best player in draft.

Carl

draft math question: According to the draft chart, pick 49 is worth 410 points, Say Green Bay wanted to move up, they have pick 62 and 94 which totals 408 according to the chart. Would you do it?

Brian Batko

8:34

Covering the combine for the first time two months ago, I didn't eat at the famed St. Elmo Steakhouse but I did pop in on a Thursday night and who walks in? Chase Young. He can afford a few steak dinners now.

Ray Fittipaldo

8:34

I would not. I think you can get a good player at 49. If there is no one you want there then maybe if you think the guy will be there at 62.

8:35

Brian/Ray - Thank you doing this... will you keep us posted tonight (live) if you feel the pucks coming in are favorable or non-favorable for our Steelers going into their first pick tomorrow?

Brian Batko

8:35

Our pleasure Ed, thanks for joining. The Redskins picking Chase Young at 2 is unfavorable to the Steelers in my opinion. He's really good.

Jerry Micco

8:35

St. Elmo's: I cry when I eat the shrimp cocktail. Hottest sauce ever.

pdxJaxon

8:35

BB....you didnt eat at St Elmos ? That's like a Felony in Indy......

Jerry Micco

8:36

I think the Lions will pick with 10 seconds left. I have to believe they are fielding a lot of calls. Jacksonville should give up some picks here if they want a QB.

Brian Batko

8:36

I ate at Harry & Izzy's next door, which everyone tells me is essentially the same meal. They had the cocktail sauce. It was fantastic. You can make a similar concoction at Eddie V's in Pittsburgh if you mix a bit of their atomic horseradish with the cocktail. Life hack!

Lenny

8:37

I think the eagles miss out on top wr in round 1. Would you trade 49 for 53 and get one of the 4th round picks they have

Ray Fittipaldo

8:37

I'd try to get a third-round pick

pdxJaxon

8:37

Harry and Izzy's is the same. you did fine

Brian Batko

8:38

Next team to take a QB

Dolphins (92% | 23 votes)

Chargers (0% | 0 votes)

Lions (0% | 0 votes)

Other (8% | 2 votes)

Total Votes: 25

Ray Fittipaldo

8:38

Lions pick is in, but they're going to make us wait until after the commercial apparently.

Maybe not.

Jeff Okudah is the pick

Brian Batko

8:39

It's a run on Buckeyes. Do Giants go JK Dobbins here to pair with Saquon?

Jerry Micco

8:40

So the best tackle goes to the Giants? Or do they see if someone's willing to trade up ahead of Miami to take one of the QBs? Wirfs is a very good player, but you might get him a few picks lower. Maybe.

Ray Fittipaldo

8:40

I think they go tackle here. Protect the young QB and help Barkley.

Brian Batko

8:41

I didn't bother watching much of the top OL prospects in this draft, but when I put on Michigan LB Josh Uche vs. Iowa, I found myself wondering if anyone ever manages to beat Tristan Wirfs.

8:42

History tells us at least 1 of these top 5 picks will be a bust. How is that possible with them being elite athletes and all the research done on them?

Ray Fittipaldo

8:42

It's HARD to play in the NFL! So much more goes into it than athleticism, 40 times, etc.

pdxJaxon

8:42

Wirfs is an Athletic Freak.

Ray Fittipaldo

8:43

Love Wirfs.

pdxJaxon

8:43

If he drops to #49 I say we should pick wirfs... ;-)

Lenny

8:47

Ray thoughts on safety Blackmon from Utah? He can play in the slot too and free up Edmonds to play the nickel backer role.

Ray Fittipaldo

8:47

Like him. Versatile. Knee injury is a owrry, but he could be ready for the season.
