Belichick would cut or already have cut Bust DuPree. Belichick would sign DuPree if the Steelers cut him. Can both be true?
Ray Fittipaldo

Probably.

D.K. Metcalf is a 1 trick pony, bulky physique, neck injury... yet some covet him for the first Steeler pick... please say no...
Ray Fittipaldo

He has all the tools to be a No. 1 WR. But there are concerns about his injury history. And yes, he is unusually muscular for a WR.

Equating Haskins to Dobbs and Rudolph is a bit sophomoric of a quip, Ray.
Ray Fittipaldo
12:45
They're not drafting a QB. Their plan is to extend Ben. And they have Dobbs and Rudolph as young backups. Where exactly would Dwayne Haskins fit in?

Best guess as to starting WR game one:  Ju Ju, Montcrief, Washington or Ju Ju, Montcrief, daft pick?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:46
How about JuJu, Washington, draft pick?

Why were they willing to pay dupree 9 million this year
Ray Fittipaldo
12:47
Tomlin likes Dupree. Thinks there is untapped potential there.

Given the number of RBs being brought in for visits, I have to think that the Steelers are not as comfortable with their depth chart at the position as some in the media are. Personally, I have concerns about Conner's durability and, I know many Steeler fans do not like to hear this, his overall ability. I think he benefitted greatly by running behind this OL and having Ben and AB in the same offense. Your thoughts?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:49
I am a bit surprised by the number of RBs that have been in for visits. But remember, just because they visit doesn't mean they'll draft one. I think they had 10 or 11 ILBs in for visits last year and didn't draft one.

I keep hearing that the Jets are wanting to trade Darron Lee. I was able to follow Darron during his college career and he was very good at Ohio State. He seems to be a good fit for the Steelers. Do you think Darron would be worth the Steelers trading for if they could get him for a 5th round pick or higher?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:51
I have to be honest it's been a while since I've watched Darron Lee play. But to play along, if White and Bush are gone and the Steelers don't like any other ILBs then maybe they'd trade a late pick for him. I just haven't heard any buzz to suggest it's a possibility.

No way they paid that much to Moncrief to be a number 3 received right?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:52
He's not making that much money. He'll be in the top 4

Anybody ever do a study regarding Steeler draft visits in regards to actual draft picks?

Coming up later in the week.
OK thanks for all the questions this week. We'll do it again next week. Kevin Colbert will have his draft news conference next Monday so stay tuned for a time or day switch with this chat.
