Who steps into Alualu shoes now? FA, draft pick, or someone already on the roster?

Carlos Davis was the seventh-round pick last year ands by season's end he appeared to move ahead of Isaiah Buggs on the depth chart. So they have him, but my guess is they'll add someone to compete and likely start ahead of him.

We all know now that the cap space went down this year. But can you tell us why ?

Ray Fittipaldo

No fans in the stands! No one buying concessions! No one parking their cars for $75 on the North Side!

Steelers covet Big Ten players. Good selection of Ohio State Players during Day 2, Trey Sermon at RB, Josh Myers at C, Baron Browning at LB. Your thoughts on Steelers fits for these players?

Ray Fittipaldo

2:43

Sermon probably a fourth-rounder. Myers maybe a third- or fourth-rounder. Browning is a second- or third-rounder. Fills some obvious needs. Browning would be interesting to come in and compete with Spillane. They'd definitely need an ILB if Vince Williams is cut. If they keep Williams, then it's not as much of a need.

Using the 2015 Draft formula you played out... Dupree = B imo

Now it looks like Mike Hilton to the Bengals.

How will they assess Dwayne Haskins properly?

Ray Fittipaldo

2:45

By watching him in practice and preseason games. How else?

Good Afternoon Ray, With the signing of BJ Finney, does this look like the Steelers will pickup a Center early in the draft say possibly the 2nd round? And if so, do you think they will take Landon Dickerson if available at 55? Just curious since Dickerson won't be able to start the season due to his injury.

Ray Fittipaldo

2:46

I might take a gamble on Dickerson in the third round. If you get five good years from him before his body gives out then that'd be pretty good value for a second-round pick.

Do you see the steelers going after RB Jamaal Williams ?

Ray Fittipaldo

2:48

He's OK, but I think they'd rather get one in the draft.

Just Mike

Is James Connor likely to return?

Ray Fittipaldo

2:48

Doubtful.
