The Pope

What might an offer look like Jerry?

The Goatherder

8:20

Between Akers and Dobbins, do they choose the higher character person?

Brian Batko

8:20

They're both high character from everything I've seen and read.

Scrub

8:20

How do teams let other teams know they want to trade out

Brian Batko

8:20

Carrier pigeon

Jerry Micco

8:20

Depends how far back they go. If it's a couple spots, maybe a 5th, which they don't have.

Brian Batko

8:21

Steelers are now up.

Mike

8:21

No spoilers on the steelers pick guys!

pdxJaxon

8:21

ok....here we go

James

8:21

OK...let's see if the Steelers were serious about wanting a RB

The Pope

8:21

Make a trade and add a pick

Sergio from Mexico

8:21

Go Steelers!!!!

Paul

8:23

pick is in!

Cali Steel

8:23

Here we STEELERS... HERE WE GO!

Brian Batko

8:23

We're keeping the chat spoiler free.

ESPN says "pick is in"...

Tom

8:25

What! I'm not watching. Let us in Brian

Brian Batko

8:25

I'll say this: If you want to know the Steelers pick before it's on TV, check Twitter. If not, I'll post it here once it comes off the sweet lips of our dear commissioner Roger Goodell.

8:26

Steelres pick Notre Dame receiver Chase Claypool

Jerry Micco

8:26

Good job, Brian.

Gerry in TN

8:27

Oh no! I thought Mims was a better pick than Claypool.

Tomservo

8:27

Love it

pdxJaxon

8:27

boooooooooooo

Brian Batko

8:27

I see we've reached a consensus.

Mike

8:29

The Steelers are going to be running some interesting stuff with Ebron, McDonald and Claypool all on the roster.

Jerry Micco

8:29

That's a very solid pick. Megatron II.

NC Steel

8:29

Clearly this team is NOT serious about improving the running game THIS year. What a disappointment!

Dave

8:29

Big Boy...enjoy your last year JuJu

Tomservo

8:32

NCSteel... deep threat WR will open up running lanes. It’ll be ok.

Elan

8:32

Thoughts on why they chose claypool over mims? Happy with the selection, just trying to see the logic.

Brian Batko

8:32

I assume that's what Kevin Colbert and Mike Tomlin will be asked tonight. Claypool is more physical, I believe. Very willing to play special teams, as he did at Notre Dame. And hey, maybe he's also your tight end of the future if he adds some weight.

Brister

8:35

Thanks for limiting spoilers.

Reminds me of Troy Edwards. Awful, could have had JK Dobbins

Tom

8:38

Don't expect much from him in 2020, too raw

Tomservo

8:40

All he has to do is run fast in a straight line to be of immense service to this team this year

Mike

8:40

There’s our guy akers. Who’s on our radar for 3rd round fast rb’s guys?

Brian Batko

8:40

Not sure they're still gonna go with a running back, Mike. Maybe time to start adding defensive or O-line depth?

FailedRB

8:42

Forget it. Steelers blew it on their chance to upgrade running game. It was all talk another toy for an aging QB with a bad arm.

Brian Batko

8:42

Spicy hot take.

CA Ciro

8:42

How in the world is this monster anything like Troy Edwards?
