0:23

This is the Steelers standard on

0:25

Steelers Nation Radio and podcast

0:28

on Steelers dot Com.

0:31

All right, so we got the first three quarterbacks that went off

0:33

the board right away.

0:35

The speculation was that we might have.

0:37

Our first ever run of four quarterbacks right

0:39

away in the draft, but that was

0:41

halted when Marvin Harrison Junior was taken of the fourth

0:43

overall pick. We did set the records

0:45

though, of six quarterbacks taken in the first twelve

0:47

pick and say and fourteen offensive

0:50

players pick before a defense.

0:51

That to me is crazier than

0:53

the quarterback. Well, the quarterbacks

0:55

makes sense because that's the.

0:56

Era we live in now.

0:58

It'll well, yes, but you're you're

1:00

you're going around the right path too, though that

1:03

also can be applied. The air

1:05

we live in now is that you're I think you're gonna see this

1:07

more and more often now.

1:08

I heard.

1:08

I heard it's gonna be a Miles Garrett that comes out of

1:10

classes and there's gonna be some first overall pick

1:12

that's the defense.

1:13

Like there's gonna be studs, but there's gonna.

1:15

Be classes where you see a lot of offense before

1:17

any defense goes.

1:18

I heard people saying that you shouldn't even

1:20

go to college and try to be on defense anymore, because

1:23

clearly for that too, you just

1:25

you should just go and play on offense because that's what

1:27

everyone wants.

1:27

Now. That's that's gonna be the higher paid positions.

1:29

Now, it's the higher paid positions, and the leagues

1:32

are setting their rules to favor that side of the

1:34

football, like it's.

1:35

Oh yeah, that's that's another

1:38

entire talking point is that

1:40

the league just wants offense and they're gonna

1:42

do everything they can to protect the offense.

1:44

Yeah, Like Travis Hunter, who's high

1:47

on a lot of mock drafts for twenty twenty five, though all

1:49

around threat from Colorado,

1:52

he's.

1:53

Got to play wide receiver in the NFL, right, don't play.

1:55

Rather than d Backay, Yeah, come on, don't

1:57

play d back, play wide receiver. I

2:01

encourage him to play both in college

2:04

one more year because it's fun for me as

2:06

a consumer to watch that, to have a freak

2:08

player like that go both ways wide

2:10

receivers, the spots sun when you get to

2:12

the NFL.

2:13

That's that's what that is. The

2:15

money is.

2:16

You didn't even say running back as like you can't even

2:18

see the offense as the whole because.

2:19

Running backs running wide receiver Travis Hunter

2:21

tight ends.

2:22

Unless you're Travis Kelsey who just had that thirty five

2:24

million dollar contract.

2:25

DBS can't even breathe on you and just

2:27

go you get paid more money. Yeah, wide

2:29

receivers the spot for you.

2:34

So yeah, that that I think was just kind of a sign

2:37

of where we're heading. Is the NFL in general

2:39

is it's just going to be an offensive first league.

2:42

Right in front of me here I have

2:44

Field Yates's whose name

2:47

sounds just like if you were to

2:49

generate a Yale graduate or something like that,

2:52

like Field Yates graduated from Yale

2:54

and he's from Harvard.

2:56

But he has did we talk about that story last week

2:58

how he got carded at a casino in

3:02

Detroit.

3:02

Yeah, because he looks like he's ten years old,

3:04

right, He does good work though, all jokes aside.

3:07

Yeah, he had his best picks in top steals

3:09

in every round. Here's some round one

3:11

best picks for him, Roma Dunzey to the Bears

3:13

at number nine.

3:15

Yeah, it was a pretty good pick.

3:16

I think that's a pretty good tandem right away, Caleb

3:18

and Done, we're about tandem.

3:19

How about a trio at wide receiver between

3:22

Keenan Allen, Roma Dunsa and d J.

3:24

Moore and if they could get Chase Claypool back then getting

3:28

the final, he for sure.

3:30

Playing Canada

3:32

this year.

3:33

Let's see, I don't think he's signed anywhere.

3:34

I haven't seen him sign and trust me, Pittsburgh

3:37

would let me know if Chase Claypool was signing.

3:38

And who's the running back? They still DeAndre

3:41

Swift in Chicago this summer

3:43

this year.

3:45

The Chicago offense and

3:48

the Cardinal offense are

3:50

two that you'll go to our lads. It was Dondre

3:52

Swift and they still have Khalil Herbert too.

3:54

Who's not bad. You're back.

3:55

You go to our labs on Chicago.

3:57

Cole Comandez his tight end.

3:59

You go to our lads on the Cardinals,

4:02

two teams that were picking in the top four this

4:04

year, and you're kind

4:06

of like offensively not

4:08

that the Bears

4:11

we just mentioned. Then you go to the Cardinals and it's like, you got

4:13

Marvin Harrison Junior, who I think we both agree

4:15

is the best player in the draft. Uh,

4:17

you got Trey McBride at tight end. Still, you

4:20

got James Connor, and then you pick Trey Benson

4:22

in the third round. Another running back you got Kyler

4:24

Paris Johnson at right tackle was a first round

4:27

from last year.

4:28

They need more.

4:28

Wide receiver help you?

4:29

Yeah? Is it just now?

4:33

Where did Patrey McBride's pretty good Where

4:35

did Hollywood Brown go?

4:37

Hollywood Brown is.

4:38

A chief, right, that's

4:41

who will get to them in a second, because they had a death

4:44

star of a draft too, they should not have.

4:46

Gotten well,

4:49

you're worthy.

4:50

Going to them is not credit the bills for that

4:52

saying hey, we're your biggest or

4:54

you're our biggest rival.

4:55

But here take this.

4:56

Tyreek kill two point oh just take home?

4:58

Yeah, just seriously, I mean, I'm sure really like

5:00

Keon Coleman.

5:01

I think is gonna be a good player.

5:03

But and and maybe they like On

5:05

Coleman more than Xavier are worthy for their fit. But let

5:08

me tell you just still gave the Chiefs Xavier.

5:10

In terms of an entertainment value, Keon

5:12

Coleman is second to none.

5:13

Right now, have you been following him?

5:16

I think Xavier leg gets better. You can't understand

5:18

a word.

5:19

It's insane.

5:20

That is the thickest Southern accent and it's.

5:22

All like a run on sentences.

5:25

But he's

5:27

not like mean spirited or rumbling

5:30

to the media like he's happy to answer any question

5:32

if you can just figure out what he's.

5:33

Saying, it's it's really funny

5:36

stuff.

5:36

The number one defensive player picked, Lato

5:39

was also on field Yates's highlight,

5:41

which makes sense for the frown one I got

5:44

two probably the yeah, Quinnian Mitchell

5:46

to the Eagles. We talked about this a little bit on Friday.

5:48

Just another great defensive back.

5:50

I mean talk about and they got Cooper

5:53

right, talk about a plus is for the draft.

5:54

I think the Eagles are up there.

5:56

Well, they have a clear, uh clear

5:58

plan of attack right to reload

6:00

in the secondary Graham Barton,

6:03

they have the Bay Buccaneers and then who we just mentioned, Zavier

6:05

Leged at number thirty two, Panthers trading back into

6:07

the first round to grab a weapon

6:09

for Bryce Young.

6:11

Those were some highlights of it and.

6:12

Good for the Panthers. Despite David Tepper being

6:14

an all around terrible human being.

6:16

Yeah, did you see when he went into that restaurant? Oh yeah, did

6:18

you see?

6:19

Wait, so we all know about the sign

6:21

of that restaurant saying David

6:24

Tepper, please let let the professional

6:26

coach. It's like, please let the coach and GM

6:28

make the piss this year, and then we heard the story

6:31

that he passed that restaurant

6:33

and was upset by it.

6:35

But did you.

6:36

See like the footage he went security

6:38

cam footage he went in and there was an

6:40

employee at the little whatever

6:44

the server desk right the

6:46

hostess desk, and

6:49

he grabbed at the Panthers

6:51

logo hat on the employee

6:54

to take it off, and it was like, you don't deserve to wear

6:56

that. If your sign's out there, is

6:58

that assault?

6:59

Not really?

7:00

But like by definition, can you just do that

7:02

to a strangers take something

7:04

off of them?

7:05

It's just being a douche. I would have

7:07

been like, all right, douche, like get out of here.

7:09

Like this is my restaurant and

7:11

it's my hat.

7:11

Yeah, get the hell out of.

7:13

Here, Like you're not president of the

7:15

world.

7:17

Win football games, okay, right, And

7:19

you know what I'm saying, don't fire a coach, and

7:22

then don't fire the coach that didn't want to make the terrible

7:24

pick that you made. I'm sure the guy at

7:26

the hosts stamp was very polite and was like, you know, you get

7:28

in those situations and it's a little awkward as a person.

7:30

He's probably like, oh, yeah, it's all fun and games. It's a

7:32

joke, sir, I'm sorry. Like I don't know if he

7:34

said he sorry, but it's just like a

7:37

joke, you know what. I wish you would have just dug it.

7:39

And he would have been like, you know what, screw

7:41

you, Tepper.

7:42

You don't own me.

7:43

You don't own this restaurant, you don't own

7:45

this city, your little stupid fun football

7:48

team that you got up there in Carolina. How about

7:50

you win some football games and then maybe

7:52

you can come back in.

7:53

I'll give you a free drink or something. I can tell you which

7:55

road I would have taken.

7:58

The latter.

7:59

I would have hope that in that situation I would

8:01

have done that too. I probably

8:03

would have just had my hat in my hand. Yes, sir, mister

8:05

Tepper, can I take you to your table now? Like

8:07

I would have been very polite, like very yes,

8:10

I am a very professional. Wow, you are a celebrity,

8:12

and.

8:12

I will like, he's not a celebrity.

8:15

He is in the sense of the most wanted man in Carolina.

8:17

Maybe that's not a celebrity,

8:19

that's just being a douche

8:22

exactly. That's what I said, uh,

8:25

going forward to the fourth round, he

8:27

does highlight Peyton Wilson or excuse me, the third round

8:30

as one of his steals of the draft.

8:32

So I just want to I'll take any

8:35

excuse to talk about the Steelers draft. Last

8:38

year, the Steelers had a first round

8:40

pick, technically, two second

8:42

round picks, and a third round pick. This year

8:45

it was a first, a second, and two thirds.

8:48

And I think people got a little less excited

8:50

about this year's draft class potential

8:52

compared to last year's because to have really

8:55

you had two firsts because Joey

8:57

Porter Junior second, Joey Porter Junior was a thirty

9:00

second overall pick, and then Keanu

9:02

Bennon was taken leader in that second round.

9:04

But man, oh

9:07

man.

9:08

That the the impact

9:11

players that Omark Con and Andy Whidel

9:13

are targeting in these early rounds,

9:15

it just feels different.

9:17

Does does have

9:19

a different feel too.

9:20

It has a different kind of direction to it, if if

9:23

that makes any sense, Like

9:26

we were.

9:26

We were taught, Like we mentioned Demarvin Leal,

9:28

a third round guy from a couple of years ago. Just

9:31

asn't panning out, we're talking about the

9:33

dig Buckets Award winner here.

9:35

In Peyton Wilson and it could

9:38

be turned out to be leal, to be fair, but in

9:40

the moment, it just feels like last year's draft.

9:42

In the moment it felt

9:45

like this and it turned out to be right, I'll say this, and

9:47

now it feels the same this year.

9:48

Roman Wilson is probably the least sexy

9:50

pick of those top four. I

9:53

like him, but even so I like, I think he's gonna

9:55

play a big role. But I feel like I like Deontay

9:57

Johnson in the third round out of to lead him more than

9:59

I liked Roman Wilson in the same round.

10:02

If you had Deontay still on this roster and

10:04

Roman Wilson with that, would.

10:06

It maybe

10:10

probably?

10:11

I mean, you can see the same thing about

10:13

if the Sutton deal, if a Sutton

10:15

deal or if a new wide

10:17

receiver comes to town, if that was done

10:19

before the draft, for sure. My perspective's

10:22

different because

10:26

when you brought in Deontay Johnson in twenty

10:28

nineteen, that was the first

10:30

year in the post Antonio Brown

10:32

era. Yeah,

10:37

so you really, I mean, you were desperate.

10:39

But now that you have George Pickens

10:42

currently, you're saying, okay, it's

10:44

a nice number two. Would I like maybe

10:47

a little bit better of a number two,

10:49

and then Roman Wilson can be my definitive

10:51

third guy and the slot then I love

10:53

it for sure.

10:59

Kenny pick it.

11:00

I meant to mention this in our earlier episode and

11:02

I forgot.

11:03

The pick turned into.

11:04

Kate Wilson, and then Deontay

11:07

Johnson turned into Logan Lee.

11:10

So the Logan Lee.

11:13

I'm interested in the Kenny Picket turning.

11:15

In in hindsight, And we said this when

11:17

it happened, and we'll say it

11:19

in hindsight. Probably more is that you probably

11:21

would have won him a little more in return for Deontay

11:24

Johnson a little bit more. Sure, you got

11:26

Dante Jackson, but I don't

11:28

expect him to be a huge help.

11:29

Well.

11:30

I will say this though, if he starts all

11:32

seventeen games, return

11:35

right, like there's a starter and a starter at that

11:37

position. Let me ask you

11:39

what you think of the six quarterbacks

11:41

taken in the first round.

11:43

Like what like quarterback by quarterback

11:45

or just overall kind of overall, like

11:48

which one do you think landed in the best spot.

11:50

I think it's chicag I think it's the number one

11:53

Williams.

11:54

In some cases, the more talented

11:56

player might land in the worst spot, and then

11:58

therefore a less talented player has a better career

12:00

because of that. But I don't think that's this case.

12:03

I think the best player of that crop, the most

12:05

talented player of that crop, did

12:07

land in the best nest for him. We

12:09

just talked about that Chicago offense. I mean, that

12:13

is a trio of wide receivers that would make Joe

12:15

Burrow happy. That is a trio of

12:17

wide receivers that would make Patrick Mahomes over

12:19

the moon. That is setting up

12:21

your rookie for success. That is giving

12:23

your rookie an actual option,

12:27

plural options to throw to in

12:30

this offense and not just you know, taking a first

12:32

round pick and saying to him, hey, you're

12:34

the number one overall pick.

12:35

You know, try to.

12:36

Make lemon nade out of these lemons that we

12:38

got at wide receiver. And the offensive line ain't

12:40

that great. And that's the other thing that

12:43

the Bears have going for them. That's

12:45

a seven to ten team that was picking at number one overall.

12:48

That means that they obviously had some

12:50

holes. But they're not as bad.

12:52

As the usual number one overall team is.

12:54

They aren't as bad as the Carolina Panthers,

12:57

you know, were they weren't as bad. Yes,

13:01

right, some of these other teams, now Houston is an example of

13:03

team that fact still turn around. But I'm saying,

13:05

like usually the teams that pick number

13:07

one overall, you've gotta have to have like

13:09

a Borough come in and just be a total culture

13:11

change come in.

13:13

Like so they

13:15

were what eight and nine last year, seven and

13:17

last year, and they

13:21

this wasn't their pick that This is why

13:23

I think we're so high on them. This number one overall

13:25

pick was the result of the trade trade

13:27

from the year prior that resulted in the Panthers

13:30

getting Young Rice Young, Right, But

13:32

then you add on top of that, Romeo

13:35

Dunes they a pick number nine. It's

13:39

not it's not like we can talk about Panis

13:41

later. It's like, you know, you went out and you

13:43

signed a quarterback in your draft

13:46

of KILEB. Williams or I don't know.

13:48

I don't know what the rch embarrasson is for the Michael

13:50

Pennix thing, because it's so it was.

13:52

The opposite for Chicago. They got rid of a quarterback, right,

13:54

they knew they were gonna get.

13:55

Killed, and then they brought in a stud receiver via

13:57

the draft and free agency in Keenan

13:59

all one and last

14:02

year via the trades and came running

14:04

back in DeAndre Swift.

14:06

Yeah, their offense is an

14:08

offensive line away from being

14:10

really scary. Of course, assuming

14:13

Kayleb Williams works out well, I don't think he's gonna.

14:15

Bust looking elsewhere. Like, what would you

14:17

say is your number two? I

14:20

think mine's of Washington.

14:22

See, I think Jayden Daniels is the one that I look

14:24

at as being good enough that even

14:27

if Washington does try to screw them up, he's going to be a good

14:29

player. I really like,

14:32

like Drake May and New England, Bizarre Newton

14:34

out of Illinois, I really love.

14:37

Minnesota is not a terrible fit for McCarthy. I

14:39

just think he's a terrible player, right, Like they

14:41

have the best receiver in football, Like,

14:44

I think a rookie quarterback would love to have that to work

14:46

with Justin Jefferson. You

14:48

just need to throw it in the area code and he's gonna come down

14:50

with it. So like, right, that's a pretty good weapon

14:53

for.

14:53

The running back. I mean that's

14:55

what he loves to

14:57

hand the ball off.

14:58

Like, look, if

15:01

May landed in Minnesota, I think

15:03

my answer might be Drake May and Minnesota.

15:06

I just think I don't like.

15:08

But I just don't like. I don't like Drake

15:11

May in New England though.

15:13

Actually, to be completely honest

15:15

with you, the best fit even more

15:17

so than maybe Chicago is where Michael Penix went

15:20

or best landing spot in terms

15:22

of the team around Atlanta.

15:23

He's just never gonna play.

15:24

So that obviously, you know, puts

15:26

a damper on my take just now.

15:28

But you get what I'm saying, Like.

15:30

Atlanta's got a team ready to make

15:32

the playoffs and make some noise in the playoffs. If

15:35

Kirk Cousins goes down or he's never able to return

15:37

from that injury, you know, Penick steps into

15:39

a pretty well oiled machine already.

15:43

It's just crazy that Pennix pick.

15:46

That was one of the worst picks I can remember, and well it's

15:48

it's it is a

15:50

bad pick. And what

15:52

the GM comes out and he says, you know, well,

15:54

if Penick sits on the bench for four to five years,

15:57

that's a good problem to have because that means we're getting

15:59

a lot.

15:59

I saw it.

16:00

You just wasted a pick, waited the first round

16:02

pick, you didn't even get to see him before

16:04

his contract.

16:04

Like I don't want I don't want to say

16:07

I dislike Michael Pennix Junior. But

16:10

I think it was the it was the wrong pick because

16:12

you already have a quarter.

16:13

A wrong pick for sure. Dallas

16:15

Turner was still there. Uh A lot two

16:17

was still there. Take one of the defensive

16:20

players like win in doubt, you

16:22

know, go And

16:24

here's the other thing that bothered me too. And I think I said this on

16:26

Friday, like they they talked about how

16:28

they called Kirk Cousins when they were on the clock for

16:30

the pick. There was no mock draft

16:33

or no speculation that Penis was going to be gone by the time.

16:35

You were on the clock.

16:36

There was a big surprise that all of a sudden,

16:38

you're hearing this.

16:39

Yeah, listen to the players still there.

16:41

I mean it's it's Dallas Turner. A lot

16:43

to both Pence

16:45

they you want to help the lineup?

16:48

You don't, Uh,

16:51

Jacob, you just said brock Bowers, they don't

16:53

need a Titan.

16:54

Make a lot more sense to draft from the damn quarterback.

16:58

To someone we would have first if it's a player

17:00

Bira Murphy detail a good pick.

17:02

Dallas Turner out of all.

17:03

But all of these picks

17:06

we're saying, the only one we're

17:08

saying that didn't make sense beyond

17:10

him is Bonus because

17:12

he's another quarterback.

17:14

And he's twenty four years old, and it just seems like there's

17:16

some weird tun pack.

17:16

I'm just saying, if if you're not a quarterback, I

17:19

would have been I would have said, Okay, sure,

17:22

add this player to that team and help

17:24

Kirk Cousins either on offense or just

17:26

help him have a balanced team and put a guy

17:28

on.

17:28

Or trade back, yeah, or trade

17:31

back.

17:31

You clearly know that the Vikings and the Raiders

17:33

were all hungry for quarterbacks, and the Broncos

17:35

like call the Vikings say we're

17:37

gonna take whoever you want here unless

17:39

you move come up in

17:41

front of us and take this pick, like get some

17:44

extra capital. I just think that

17:46

was a big fumble by the Falcons

17:48

front office. And the funny thing is

17:50

is, like you know what they were thinking, right Like they

17:52

they're trying to, you

17:55

know, pull off this really

17:57

impossible thing to do of draft

18:00

for your future and

18:03

get two to three years out of Kirk, maybe go to

18:05

a super Bowl and then have Michael Penix

18:07

come in when Kirk's finally able to or has to

18:10

retire, and you don't miss a beat,

18:12

and he's just he can just kind of pick off where you left

18:14

off and you just have Kirk

18:17

to Pennix, you know, franchise

18:19

quarterback kind of tandem. But it's just

18:21

it never works that way in the NFL. And if

18:23

I'm gonna make a prediction, I bet you

18:25

that Michael Pennix, if

18:28

he does start in the NFL, it'll

18:30

be for and I'm not talking about like

18:32

Kirk gets hurt so he plays the game here there. I mean, like he

18:35

goes into a season as a starter, it

18:37

won't be for the Falcons. He'll be somewhere else.

18:39

Whoa like he might start

18:41

for the Falcons here or there. But I just have a feeling

18:43

like three years from now, Kirk Cousins will

18:45

be on one of these teams like the Vikings who are looking for

18:47

a bridge, and he's gonna be like they're gonna or

18:49

Sam Donald is a better example, Like right,

18:51

Sam Donald's gonna try that, I think be the bridge for the Vikings

18:54

this year actually, like in front of JJ

18:56

McCarthy.

18:56

So maybe he ends up being one of those.

18:59

Is that another we let's let's

19:01

pivot this quarterback discussion into

19:04

how many of these quarterbacks will we see

19:06

start Week one?

19:08

Oh? Okay, I like that. Caleb Williams for sure.

19:11

I think each of them.

19:12

I think for sure, Daniels for sure, Daniels,

19:16

they have options in Washington if they want

19:18

to slow play.

19:18

It's Mariota, okay,

19:20

Daniels for sure.

19:22

Drake May has to be because you can't throw out Bailey

19:24

Zappy set.

19:26

In New England.

19:27

Now I could

19:29

see said maybe okay, Drake.

19:32

May mah JJ

19:34

and Sam Donald in Minnesota.

19:36

I could see maybe Sam Donald

19:38

Pennix isn't gonna.

19:39

Starts,

19:42

it's going to start. And then with Denver it's

19:44

probably Denver's Bonix. For

19:46

Zach Wilson and Jarrett Jared, that's

19:48

the transition battle. I mean, Wilson,

19:51

I guess maybe has a shot.

19:53

I don't know, Williams.

19:54

For sure, and I I bet

19:57

Daniels starts. Yeah, Mariota is not good

19:59

enough to be william and Daniels. Drake

20:01

May probably, although I represent

20:04

makes him think a little bit.

20:05

Where did

20:08

oh Man? Oh we went to New Orleans?

20:10

Never mind, Derek car is gonna start.

20:12

Derek car Is gonna start ever Spencer, But

20:14

I don't hate that pick for New Orleans because they did it in like

20:16

the fifth round.

20:17

It's interesting how far Spencer rattler.

20:20

Man six quarterbacks taken it in the first round, then

20:23

not another one till the fifth.

20:24

It was the I think I heard. I was

20:26

listening to ESPN at the time.

20:28

Mel Kiper said it was the largest gap

20:30

in between quarterbacks taking in the draft

20:32

ever. By the way, before we wrap up here, do

20:34

you start dipping your toes into

20:36

the twenty twenty five draft class? You know the good quarterbacks?

20:38

Yet, do I know who one of the top ones is?

20:41

Do you want me to tell you?

20:42

Yeah?

20:42

Do you want me to tell you gell what You're gonna love this? One

20:45

of the top rated quarterbacks in this next class.

20:48

Shadoor Sanders.

20:49

Oh yeah, I knew that.

20:51

I knew you knew it, but you forgot it. We're

20:53

gonna have a lot of circus around Shadur

20:55

Sanders next year.

20:56

But it just goes to show how much can change in a year.

20:59

Because two years ago everyone was talking about Spencer

21:01

ut guy, and then

21:03

he was taking one of the sixth round, fifth round.

21:05

Yeah, Janda Daniels was on anybody's radar

21:07

two years ago.

21:09

Do you remember, I mean, do you remember back in like

21:11

October when the Suitiers were really bottoming

21:14

out in the offense Jon Daniels.

21:16

It was like, could we take maybe

21:19

get Jena Daniels in twenty.

21:20

Maybe people like they just took Kenny pickt they're not going

21:23

to take a quarterback.

21:23

Well they ended up going out and signed in two of them,

21:26

so and could

21:28

have been.

21:29

And Jena Dnields got picked twenty picks ahead

21:31

of number twenty.

21:32

Steelers kept tanking though maybe they could have

21:34

been in the market for one of those quarterbacks. Uh

21:39

yeah, I just think that, you

21:42

know, it can be

21:45

so fluid this situation

21:47

when it comes to evaluating that position.

21:50

And we were just talking about Sanders being

21:52

the number one right now Carson Beck from from.

21:54

George is also up there. It

21:58

looked like that grade of a class to be needing

22:00

a quarterback. I think that's why you saw it for next year.

22:02

I think that's why you saw teams take as many quarterbacks

22:04

as they did this year, because.

22:06

Could that be a bad thing for the Steelers because

22:08

you remember the last Saturday.

22:09

The Steelers they're set at the quarterback position. For

22:11

now.

22:11

In fact, I hope for the next three years it's really

22:14

awful quarterback classes that are coming out, because

22:16

you expect one of these guys to be back

22:18

next year between one of them, and then maybe

22:20

another year after that. At the very least, if

22:22

we're talking at the very best, I

22:24

don't need a quarterback in the draft for a long long time,

22:26

but right but at the very least three

22:29

years with this tandem and then hopefully

22:31

there's a real studley crop of quarterbacks

22:33

coming out deep. I want deep classes because

22:36

we know the Steelers aren't going to be bad enough to pick in the top

22:38

ten.

22:38

They haven't done that in like thirty years.

22:39

The only time they've done it class.

22:41

The only time they've done it was when they traded up

22:43

exactly to good Devin Bush.

22:46

Nice.

22:46

A couple of years with some bad quarterbacks

22:48

coming out of college would be just with the doctor ordered,

22:50

and then a very nice, long deep class. After

22:53

Russell Wilson retires after winning his second Super

22:55

Bowl here in Pittsburgh, his second with the

22:57

Steelers, or second second with the Steelers,

22:59

just third overall and his fourth

23:01

overall that he's been to as well, we're gonna throw.

23:04

In another Okay, all

23:06

right, we'll keep talking draft.

23:07

I'm sure this week, uh if not, are

23:10

gonna talk about wide receivers.

23:12

Yeah, let's go trade for a wide receiver later this

23:14

week, and you know, maybe start looking ahead

23:16

at the schedule release because that's the next

23:18

big thing on the TV schedule for the.

23:21

All about during the draft, we were

23:23

getting teasers TV

23:26

teasers for a TV event for the

23:28

draft or for the schedule schedule release that

23:31

second week in May probably is when we'll get the

23:33

schedule.

23:34

I'm sure we'll get an official announcement for when the official

23:36

announcement is soon enough until

23:38

Thursday, though, he's Jacob wrecked on Tom Offerman.

23:41

As always, thanks for listening. I don't know why you

23:43

do, but we appreciate it and

23:45

we'll talk to you later on the Steelers standard
