4-23 PM Team 5pm Hour

We listen to the Steelers' picks from the 1981 and 1986 NFL Drafts. The 1986 draft may feature the biggest draft bust in team history. PM Team First Round Picks as follows: Donny: Omar Cooper, WR, Indiana. Chris: Denzel Boston, WR, Washington. Poni: Spencer Fano, OL, Utah.

Ray Fittipaldo joins the show and says that the Steelers will take a wide receiver. But if they want to move up, they will take one of the higher rated tackles.

4-23 PM Team 4pm Hour

What is Steve Palazollo's favorite pick for the Steelers? He says it is Makai Lemon or Omar Cooper but both would have to fall for the Steelers to get either of them. Steve says the Steelers' first-round pick will be Monroe Freeling.

Brian Baldinger said that the ideal pick for the Steelers is Olaivavega Ioane from Penn State. If he falls, Poni sees that as a potential pick for the Steelers. Experts' latest picks have the Steelers picking Blake Miller. If they take Miller, how does that affect Troy Fautanu's position on the field? Other experts have him taking Monroe Freeling. Another name linked to the Steelers is Max Iheanachor. Adam Crowley makes a surprise appearance.

4-23 PM Team 3pm Hour

Jason Mackey of MLB.com joins the show! Oneil Cruz hit an absolute nuke of a home run last night. From what started as a horrific year for Cruz, he has now become one of the Pirates' most important players. Have there been any contract extension talks with Cruz? Will Oneil Cruz be a long term piece for the Pirates? The relationship between Cutch and the Pirates seems strained, to say the least.

Bob Pompeani joins the show! Huey Richardson was selected back in 1991. Was Bob happy with that pick way back then? What is Bob hearing the Steelers will do at the Draft? Technical gremlins at PNC Park require us to restart the conversation with Bob.

4-23 PM Team 2pm Hour

Heath Miller joins the show! Heath talks about his job on the Santonio Holmes play that won the Super Bowl against the Arizona Cardinals.

He discusses his Draft Day experience and what it felt like to be drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The NFL Draft is here! The guys are at PNC Park for the first round festivities. Random jerseys are abundant walking through Radio Row and Joe Starkey had glorious ADHD moments. What is our current status regarding the Steelers' potential first round pick? Could the Steelers trade up for a safety? Donny released his mock draft.

Poni thinks Carson Beck could be the Steelers Week 1 QB. Why? Is everything about Will Howard hogwash? Is Aaron Rodgers going to decide to retire? Poni emphasized that he doesn’t believe it will come together, but it’s a bold prediction he’s making. What other bold predictions do we have going into tomorrow night? 93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Jeff saw some of the prospects up close today and noted that Kadyn Proctor is a ‘monster.’ Proctor could also be on the Steelers board if they really want a tackle. Jeff had a conversation with Jordyn Tyson about Hines Ward, who coached him up at Arizona State. Jeff thinks Vega Ioane is the best OL in the draft. He was told by someone that the draft is really muddy after the top 12-15 guys. Jeff thinks there’s only a 5-10 percent chance that the 21st overall pick is a defensive player. Is there a chance Tyson is there for the Steelers? Jeff believes Mike McCarthy could be enamored by the size of Denzel Boston to pass on him, assuming the

Are we getting the Steelers smokescreens as we sit on the eve of the NFL Draft? Gerry Dulac has his latest, which he normally gets from the top. But as we have seen in recent years, Gerry isn’t batting 1.000 when it comes to Steelers draft nuggets. An interesting prospect is Kenyon Sadiq, the top TE in the draft, that could be on the board at 21. Gerry also shared that Makai Lemon is the 2nd WR on the Steelers board. Is there a world where the Steelers do draft a tackle and move Troy Fautanu to guard? Gerry added that there is a ‘zero percent chance’ the team drafts Ty Simpson and likely won’t select one in the first 2 rounds. ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi described this year’s draft as ‘top heavy’ with so many teams looking to trade back in the 1st round or out of the round completely. Aditi thinks there are 12-16 1st round caliber players in this year’s class, based on what she’s hearing. Aditi expects a run on offensive line in the middle of tomorrow night. Is the tackle talk just a smokescreen by the Stee

So, how many people are we going to see on the North Shore this weekend? Is the NFL Draft too much of a made-for-TV event? Are locals afraid of the crowds? All of the polls show that most people don’t want to go if they already live in Pittsburgh. Are locals turned off by big events in the city? Or is the NFL Draft just too much? Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. The guys had to get Mike’s reaction to NBC making it official with Mike Tomlin, as he’s set to join the SNF coverage. Mike has long been annoyed by Aaron Rodgers, but it’s more embarrassing on the Steelers as he continues to dictate terms. Mike doesn’t really understand why Rodgers even wants to come back. How much better will the team be under Mike McCarthy than they were under Tomlin? Mike’s sources have told him that Rodgers doesn’t like that there is all this talk about him, allegedly. Mike doesn’t rule out Rodgers coming back midseason if a team needs a QB. Mike also pointed out that the Phil Rivers situation was very rare.

The Rangers topped the Pirates last night, but the biggest story didn’t come from the game. Instead, it was from the comments made by Andrew McCutchen following it. Cutch is still clearly salty following his Pirates departure. Would the Pirates be better off with him instead of Marcell Ozuna or Billy Cook? 2/3 of the show thinks Cutch needs to stop crying and be happy he got his 3-year reunion in Pittsburgh. Of course, a year when the Pirates look like a good team, the rest of the NL Central is great. How do fans feel about the Andrew McCutchen comments? Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. Does Tyler like what Dan Muse is doing right now? TK said the Penguins need to adapt and match the style Philly is throwing at them. What is going on with Kris Letang right now? It looks like Justin Brazeau is back in the lineup after being a healthy scratch in the first 2 games. Tyler believes in the Russian connection between Evgeni Malkin and Egor Chinakhov, so he was speechless to find out they aren’t on t

Is there a chance Tyson is there for the Steelers? Jeff believes Mike McCarthy could be enamored by the size of Denzel Boston to pass on him, assuming the top 3 WR are off the board. Jeff thinks the Steelers will draft a QB ‘at some point.’ Jeff’s pick: Vega Ioane.

Aditi thinks there are 12-16 1st round caliber players in this year’s class, based on what she’s hearing. Aditi expects a run on offensive line in the middle of tomorrow night. Is the tackle talk just a smokescreen by the Steelers? Aditi thinks Mike McCarthy will push for a WR. Aditi thinks a lot of teams will be jockeying for spots tomorrow night. Aditi’s pick: Makai Lemon.
