OK kids, we'll be starting our chat in about 20 minutes so get ready....

OK, let's get started....

Gerry: it seems like Rodgers was the de facto GM of the Jets last year.  Given that, is it possible that he has made a list of draft demands on the Steelers and won't sign until after the draft with proof that they complied?  His list could include: no QB higher than round 4, get a running back, and don't trade Pickens.

No it's not, but thanks for asking

Gerry, great article on Brown's QB Kenny Pickett and the Steelers possibly facing him this fall. But one question, why didn't you quote me, Bill in LA?
Gerry Dulac
10:53
Musta been an oversight

Gerry, the Patriots just gave Robert Spillane $ 11 million per year. What shortcomings do you think the Steelers saw in him, and why do you think the Raiders and Patriots threw money at him?
Gerry Dulac
10:54
Because that's why dumb GMs do.
Austin in Augusta10:53Reports around the Garden City are that the NFL’s 2024 Scoring Champ had a wonderful round a few weeks back…on the very course Rory trods TODAY.  We are dying to hear his impressions!  And did he lay up on 15?
I heard about that!

Hi Gerry,  Is Tomlin gone after 3 more seasons?
Gerry Dulac
10:55
Ask me after the 2027 season. Oh wait....

Is there a high chance the steelers draft a safety?
Gerry Dulac
10:55
Nope
John

If shedeur sanders drops to 21 how likely would it be for the steelers to draft him
Gerry Dulac
10:56
I don't think he will drop

Gerry , based on the Steeler’s top 30 visits, do you think that the Steelers are becoming comfortable with the fact that they will be not be entering the 2nd round pick this year (I.e trading Pickens or trading back) because a lot of their visits are late round runningbacks, and wide receivers, while their other visits are potiental first round picks.
Gerry Dulac
10:57
I don't think their top-30 visits are necessarily a determinant  of how comfortable they may or may not be
John
10:57
What position would you want the steelers to draft?
Gerry Dulac
10:58
Gee, let's see, I haven't given this any amount of thought, at least not since 2022....

Hi Gerry, Surely they aren't going to take Pickett 2.0 at 21? There are going to be some great DL players there. I want Harmon. I don't care if he only plays two downs if the other team are 3rd and 7 when he walks off
Gerry Dulac
10:58
I'm with ya

Hello Gerry, Are the Steelers really serious about drafting a quarterback in the first round?  That would be a colossal mistake!  It all starts in the trenches on offense and defense.  Look at the Eagles as a great example.  Sure hope the Steelers understand, if you draft a quarterback like Sanders you're including his dad's Input!  I would hate to see how it would look like for the Steeler coaches (actually Arthur Smith) at the first sight of adversity.  Yikes!
Gerry Dulac
10:59
Let's hope not. I don't think they are. That's coming in 2026

Hi Gerry, in 2022 you strongly (and correctly) indicated that the Steelers needed DL AND that Pickett was probably a bad pick.  I know it's been awhile, but do you think there was a DL at that time they should have taken?  When I look at it, I don't see anyone.
Gerry Dulac

I never said Pickett himself was a bad pick. I said it was a bad pick taking a QB and not a D-lineman. You're right, there weren't a lot to choose from, but when I was told they considered trading up to take Pickett, which would've been a bigger joke, then they should've traded up to get Jordan Davis.
Chill Dave

Hi Gerry, with the Steelers piling up likely 2026 comp picks, do you think there's a chance they will aggressively trade 2026 standard picks to make a play for this year? Maybe two early DL?  Maybe QB and DL?
Gerry Dulac
11:01
No, I think that play is coming next year to get a QB

Please tell me the Steelers will not waste a first round pick on Sanders or Dart.
Gerry Dulac
11:02
I don't think Sanders will last that long and I don't think Dart will go that high

Hi Gerry - Still think Rodgers get signed by the Steelers? They said they would be patient a little longer, do you think that is by the draft? Or beyond?
Gerry Dulac
11:03
Who knows with Aaron Rodgers.
Guest

I don’t understand the fan base passion for Mason. He didn’t play well at all last year and that was with an offensive minded head coach. I think Rodgers is far and above are best option this year. What say you Gerry?
Gerry Dulac
11:04
The best option, right now, is Rodgers as the starter and Mason as the backup. That wasn't the best option a month ago

GM Gerry - I have seen you for YEARS scream we need to draft a DL in the first round. Is this finally the year? To me, DL in round one, and Will Howard (he's a winner) in the 3rd or 4th, would set up a tremendous draft for the Steelers. Thoughts?
Gerry Dulac
11:04
I don't disagree with you at all

Gerry love the chats.  Milroe won the "Academic Heisman"   why is he only discussed  as an athlete.  It seems someone who can process information, with his athletic skill, should be coveted. Especially when he beat UGA and other SEC schools.  Thoughts?
Gerry Dulac
11:05
The Steelers were impressed with his intelligence, demeanor and character

BPA says Emanwori is worth a pick at 21.  Thoughts?
Gerry Dulac

You say "worth" as though it's a gamble or longshot.
