Ray Fittipaldo

10:28

He'd be in that 3-4 round range.

Is it too early for Philips from LSU at ILB

Ray Fittipaldo

10:29

No he's in that 3-4 range too.

Dale

10:29

How about Terrell Lewis or Curtis Weaver?

Ray Fittipaldo

10:29

I'd take Lewis over Weaver, but Lewis has had some injuries. More potential if he's healthy.

George in OKC

10:30

Ray! Cushenberry, Gallimore, or OLB Lewis on the bored at 102. Who are you taking?

Ray Fittipaldo

10:30

Probably Cushenberry.

Brian Batko

10:30

Ray, I just remembered that I chose Chase Claypool as my Steelers pick on our last episode of the North Shore Drive podcast. Do you recall?

10:33

Can someone bring me a beer ?

Brian Batko

10:33

Rog just mispronounced Lynn BOW-den. Long O. Anyway, he's on the Raidahs now. A Gruden grinder.

Ray Fittipaldo

10:34

I should, but I don't! Nice pick.

Steeler Joe

10:34

Brian: Regarding Bowden, that was my thought as well. Third QB, fifth WR, gadget plays, wildcat...

Hank

10:34

Since we missed out on Taylor, how about taking one of the guys that helped pave the way for all his yards with Biadasz?

pdxJaxon

10:34

is Chase Claypool the DK Metcalf of this year ?

Brian Batko

10:34

Biadasz is a badazz.

Ray Fittipaldo

10:35

Wouldn't be a bad thing if that happened. Metcalf had a nice rookie year. Scored a rather big TD versus the Steelers as I recall.

CA Ciro

10:36

Claypool has better hands than Metcalf. Take it from a Seattle resident, he dropped a lot of balls.

pdxJaxon

10:38

didnt know that about Metcalf. Just heard he wasnt great with the route tree.

Brian Batko

10:38

The Raiders just drafted a third receiver??

Ray Fittipaldo

10:38

Gallimore to Cowboys

pdxJaxon

10:39

Yeah....3 WRs in the first 3 rounds. Weird. Gotta gather more weapons for Mariota eh ;-)

Gary

10:39

So the Steelers traded the 19th in the 3rd round to Denver? What did they get in return?

Brian Batko

10:39

Moved up to draft Devin Bush.

Ray Fittipaldo

10:44

Broncos take Cushenberry.

Surprised he lasted this long.

Hank

10:45

I wonder if the data supports teams that are more aggressive and move up in drafts thus losing later picks but getting your target vs teams that have a tendency to trade back and gather more picks...what do you guys prefer?

Paul

10:45

Do you like any DTs left on the board?

Brian Batko

10:45

I do, but not at 102.

Ray Fittipaldo

10:45

All depends on your needs. The Steelers felt like they needed Bush last year and made the move. I honestly think it depends on the situation.

Tim

10:45

Ray and brian biggest need where we sit now. OL, DL or LB

Brian Batko

10:46

My opinion, LB.

pdxJaxon

10:47

I agree ILB and Edge Both very important right now. Get OT and DL a bit later

Ray Fittipaldo

10:47

Yeah LB or OL and then DL later.

Brian Batko

10:48

Malik Harrison and Akeem Davis-Gaither would be tough for me to pass up, because I think there's a fairly big drop-off at ILB after them.

JoePa

10:48

Are you guys getting any drunks trying to chat?

Brian Batko

10:48

I assumed you're all drunk.

Tomservo

10:49

Would rather they take a coverage safety so they can move Edmunds to flex role. He was the weak link in coverage last year.

Ray Fittipaldo

10:49

That could be the move, too.

Wow Blackmon goes in the third. Coming off knee injury.

Jaybird

10:49

I called Harrison an hour ago, still hanging on
