Big question mark. He's played but mostly as an extra TE in running situations. That will be closely monitored this summer when camp opens.

Is the online draft going to make more difficult to locate and sign their preferred UDFAs?
Ray Fittipaldo

Yes. You might see teams trying to acquire seventh-round picks just for that reason. It's always been a very hectic part of the draft but even moreso this year.

Hey Ray, is there something about Barron that we the public don’t know about?  I thought he would have signed with the Steelers or another team already.  Thanks.
Ray Fittipaldo

Teams want to see what they can get in the draft. If they come up empty at ILB then I think you'll see Barron's name resurface. This happens every year.

I live a wedge away from SMU.  Why not James Proche WR discussed in say R4?  He's AB without the BS.  Very productive; great hands; shifty; ok speed.
Ray Fittipaldo

This is a deep WR class. You can find them in every round this year. And Proche is a mid-round option.

Why wouldn’t the team be interested in KJ Hamler?  He could be their Mecole Hardman.  Speed speed speed

Who said they're not interested. Hamler is going in that second round range. I think he'd be a good fit for the Steelers.

HI Ray    Most likely “surprise” move by the Steelers in R2?  Not a person but position of person selected?
Ray Fittipaldo
3:04
That's hard because we're talking about knowing which 48 are going to be selected before they pick. But how about a tackle like Josh Jones from Houston or Autin Jackson from USC if they fall into the middle of the second round. Not sure they will, but after RB and WR I think OT is a sneaky need people aren't talking about enough.

OK thanks for all the questions this week. Let's do it again next week. It will be two days from the draft!.
