Now that's depressing, MM.

Do you think they move up at some point in the draft knowing they have comp picks next year
Ray Fittipaldo
12:43
It's actually a good year to move back, but they don't do that often.

Any chance of Jenty from Boise being picked to replace Najee? He physically abused Penn State’s defenders in the playoff game.
Ray Fittipaldo
12:43
I don't think they've closed the door on anything and RB is a big need. I just think DL is a bigger need.

Hi Ray-Thanks for the Chats-What RB's do you like that the Steelers could draft?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:44
As I said earlier with Warren and Gainwell, they need a bigger back so someone like Kaleb Johnson or Ollie Gordon would make sense.

do you have any favorite Steeler draft options yet ? If so would you be willing to share them
Ray Fittipaldo
12:45
My third mock draft is coming out this weekend. Stay tuned.

What do you make of Najee’s comments about the offense not knowing what to do. Having no identity. No leadership?  Do you think he speaks for many on the team that remain quiet
Ray Fittipaldo
12:47
Najee was made a caption in his second season. Maybe he should have stepped up to fill the void. I also want to point out his one-year deal with the Chargers isn't for $9.5 million. It's basically for $5 million with a bunch of incentives. The Steelers are paying Jaylen warren basically the same as the Chargers are paying Najee.

Hi Ray, Has Tomlin really developed any QBs? Was Ben good out of the box or did the coaches help on his development?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:49
He's only had three seasons to develop one, but no he hasn't developed one yet.
Doghead

Were you surprised at Najee badmouthing the Steelers organization?  Seems to happen a lot with former players
Ray Fittipaldo
12:51
I'm not surprised by anything with players of this generation.

No Will Howard chatter as a day 3 pick....worth a try??
Ray Fittipaldo
12:51
Or Milroe or Shough.
JohnfromBurgh
12:51
Do you think the Steelers made a mistake not trying harder to keep Justin Fields ? I do.
Ray Fittipaldo
12:52
I do not. We'll see how it plays out, but it's not like the Jets have a long history of making good QB decisions.
chuck mac from Houston
12:52
Shough all day long if he's around right??
Ray Fittipaldo
12:53
Third or fourth round yeah. He has arm talent.
JohnfromBurgh
12:53
The Steelers offense the last 3-4 years has been like watching paint dry.  Booooring.  Am I wrong and more importantly if right can it be fixed with the coaches and players on the team now.
Ray Fittipaldo
12:53
It can be fixed with a good QB I believe.

Minkah Fitzpatrick... made the pro bowl last year for some odd reason. Whats his trade value, and is it possible to find a deshone elliott type FA to replace him?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:54
Free agency is pretty much over. They're keeping Minkah for one more year at least. And I don't think there is much trade value there. Maybe a late-round pick because of the contract.
12:55
OK that's all the time I have for today. We'll do it again next Tuesday.
