Did the team get better with the Neal signing? We saw 5 career interceptions, forced fumbles and 370 tackles go to the Eagles and we bring in 3 interceptions, 8 forced fumbles and 450 tackles (he had 2 more seasons). I guess 6 more turnovers (a little over 1 per season) is better but how much better?

Again, I don't think Neal is going to play full-time snaps. Damonte Kazee is going to play a lot in passing situations.

Did the Steelers match the Eagles offer to Edmunds?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:40
I don't know the details, but it appears Edmunds wanted a fresh start.

Do you think the Steelers have interest in Keion White in the 2nd round? Could add 10 pounds and play DE
Ray Fittipaldo
2:41
I think White is going to get picked in the second round. I haven't heard much buzz about the Steelers' interest in him like I have others, but I agree he's a guy who can develop into a good five technique.

Do you think the Steelers will sign an experienced 3rd QB after the draft?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:42
They'll add a third QB, but I don't think he has to have vast experience.
Mike from DC
2:43
Why take a WR in the first 2 rounds when Friermuth is essentially our WR3?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:43
I agree to a point, but they could pick a WR who can eventually take over for Johnson in a couple of years. You can't have enough good receivers.
Steel from Jacksonville

Scoring points is at a premium for this team, outside of corners and getting younger on the DL, wouldn't it be tempting to add more firepower to the offense who barely scored points the last two years?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:44
You're assuming talent is the issue with the offense.
Fred
2:44
Why do you think Rudolph hasn’t been signed yet?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:45
He's been a No. 3 QB for most of his career and lacks mobility, which teams covet in today's NFL.
D from The County

If Quinten Johnson falls to 17 and the top 3 tackles are off the board along with the top 3 corners, do the Steelers go WR and give Kenny another weapon?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:45
I don't think WR is in play in Round 1.
Nate in Iowa

Hi Ray, love the chats!  No question, but I like your response, "You're assuming talent is the issue with the offense".  Very Gerry-like :)

Ha ha. Maybe Dulac is rubbing off on me. But look at the skill positions. QB and RB Round 1. WRs Round 2 and 3. TE Round 2. They've already invested heavily into the offense in recent years.

Besides a rule change, what would it take to stop Jalen Hurts QB sneak? Troy coming over the top?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:47
It worked against Kerry Collins and Joe Flacco.
Steve in Canton

Any way WR D. Johnson gets traded? Saw a rumor he could be used to move up the draft from #17. (Not a fan of Johnson always running backwards after a catch.)
Ray Fittipaldo
2:48
Anything is possible, but who would play WR if he's dealt?
2:49
Ok thanks for all the questions this week. Let's do it again next Tuesday.
