  • Is this even a Steelers podcast?

    They barely talk about Steelers. They like talking about draft kings most of the time.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Steelers Shouldn't Overcommit to Project QBs Drew Allar, Will Howard, Pass on Future Major Prospects
Q: Should the Steelers go get a quarterback whisperer?
The host suggests there should be multiple voices and coaches involved (McCarthy, Arth, Cignetti Jr., Angelico) to provide a broad development approach, rather than relying on a single quarterback whisperer.
Steelers' Top 10 Pre-Draft Visit Prospects | Trade Up Plan for Makai Lemon or Olaivavega Ioane?
Q: And what percentage of our draft picks in the last few years have actually had pre-draft visits with us?
All three Omar Khan's draft picks have been pre-draft visitors, suggesting the team uses these visits to validate and gather information before investing in players.
Steelers' Mike McCarthy's 11 Personnel Plan Mean High WR Draft Pick Coming? | Olaivavega Ioane Visit
Q: Jay from Hartford asks whether the Super Bowl window could open sooner with this draft class if the Steelers hit it out of the park, and what that would look like given draft capital.
The hosts respond that while a very strong draft with multiple immediate starters could help, it is more realistic to expect the window to open in a couple of years, given the need for several young players to develop and the fact that rookie quarterbacks and linemen often require time to hit their ceiling.
Steelers Get Serious, Host Makai Lemon for Pre-Draft Visit | Ranking Top 11 Prospects Left to Invite
Q: What is your take on Omar Cooper Jr. vs KC Concepcion when both fall to 21?
Omar Cooper Jr. is ranked higher due to his yards-after-the-catch ability, acrobatic clutch catches, and reliable hands, which the host believes could translate into a more versatile, game-changing role for the Steelers even if Concepcion has slightly better route-running. The takeaway is that Cooper offers a broader on-field impact and playmaking ability that justifies favoring him at 21.
Steelers Must Strike in WR Draft Golden Age w/High Pick of Makai Lemon, Omar Cooper, KC Concepcion
Q: What if the Steelers move up in the draft to get Makai Lemon and have him learn under Metcalf and Pittman?
The host argues that a trade-up to secure a top receiver could pay off by granting the Steelers a true playmaker who benefits from veteran leadership in the room, helping the rookie grow into a long-term impact player.
