DL, OL, CB...Obviously QB, but they're not going to take one unless they are convinced he's the future of the franchise. ILB, OLB, WR, RB. In that order.
Lloyd's 3-Count

Witherspoon's 2-pick game ... lightning in a bottle or Kirk Cousins doing Kirk Cousins things?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:52
Hard to say. Better than what James Pierre had been doing, though.

If the Steelers draft a "Big" Center in the 2nd or 3rd round, where do you see Green going......trade, bench, or another starting position.  Thanks.
Ray Fittipaldo

If he's too small as a center he's going to be too small as a guard, too. I don't understand when people say he can move to guard. Sure he can, but the question is will be be effective? I have my doubts. Maybe he's just a depth player, a good backup center and guard. Or maybe he improves and becomes a better starter.

Why so many RayRay snaps in the game?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:53
Because Claypool was benched.

You say this a year when you have to pick the best player available, but do you do that if he’s an edge rusher?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:54
Sure.

I do not think the Steelers have enough draft picks and cap space to make this team better next year.  Way too many holes to fill. What do you think.
Ray Fittipaldo

It's not going to be a one-year fix, but they can start the rebuild.

Ray, thanks for your great Steelers coverage. Thing thing about Claypool (I listened to your/Brian’s podcast) is that despite his teammates dislike of his behavior, Tomlin had NOT apparently done anything to change Claypool’s arrogant, obnoxious, detrimental behavior. This line of antics/ behavior goes from Antonio Brown, JuJu & now Claypool. Unless every teammate is solely focused on winning & directing all energies to win…..they team will always fail. This acceptance/culture from Tomlin is #1 reason he needs to go!! What say you? Thanks

The receiver culture is not good. And I like JuJu. Diontae is quiet. Can lead by example. But they do need someone to maybe teach the group how to be professionals. A Jerricho Cotchery type would be a great addition if he's out there somewhere.

Do you see Tuitt playing somewhere else next year or just not playing again?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:58
Can't answer that question. Tuitt hasn't done an interview all year. It doesn't seem like football is high on his list of priorities right now.

Is Adrian Klemm a good offensive line coach?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:58
Hard to say with the talent/inexperience factor he is working with.

Hi Ray, Why do we see Turner tap Green so often to snap the ball? Does Kendrick have a hearing issue?
Ray Fittipaldo
1:59
It's the silent count. Every team in the league does it.

Do you see any of the PS guys sticking around and making an impact for next year?? Karl Joseph, Anthony Miller..??
Ray Fittipaldo
2:00
I think there might be opportunities for those guys. Edmunds is leaving so Joseph could be an option. And Washington and JuJu are likely leaving too so Miller could have an opportunity as well.

is Bush under contract next year or is rookie deal over at year end
Ray Fittipaldo
2:00
Bush is under contract for 2022. His fifth-year option is for 2023.
OK that's all the time I have for today. Let's do it again next week.
