Poni had a list – a list of 10 names the Steelers could write on their draft card next Thursday night, according to someone connected to the team. With this being the first draft sans Mike Tomlin, things may operate a little differently than years past. There are some scenarios that the Steelers could move up or down, so it may not even be the name that is definitively chosen at 21st overall. The list included names of guys we have talked about for months, a few we’ve talked about a little bit, and a few that would require the Steelers to trade up that we haven’t mentioned much at all in a realistic sense. Is Omar Khan bound for another big swing? Is it far fetched to think the Steelers will make the big splash and trade up for someone like Tate? It’s hard to go wrong with an Ohio State WR.
KDKA TV’s Bob Pompeani joined the show. Poni has a bone to pick with Bob and KDKA TV right away due to their countdown of WPIAL players drafted into the NFL. Does Rob Gronkowski belong on a list like that? We poked for a few other names on or off the list. Terrelle Pryor was left off the list due to being selected in the supplemental draft. Pomp does get the feel that the Steelers will draft a QB next weekend. Bob is starting to get a little sense that it’s not a foregone conclusion Aaron Rodgers returns to Pittsburgh. Bob reacted to LIV golf close to shutting down operations.
Donny Football Debrief – The NFL has released the current & former players that will be announcing picks next weekend on the second night of the draft.
