Pirates 1B Spencer Horwitz joined the show. Spencer hit his first home run of the season last night in a 16-run outburst from the Buccos in the opening game of the series against the Nationals. Spencer said the fun is contagious in the clubhouse right now as the team wins games, raises the cone and wears the welder mask. Spencer shouted out Billy Cook for being the guy that keeps the cone under safekeeping. Spencer talked about the hot start for Oneil Cruz and the work he put in before the season to bounce back in 2026. He got into what worked in the second half of last season, which had us saying Horwitz was the Pirates best hitter in 2025. The guys ran through some dudes on the roster and had Spencer describe them on & off the field. The guys had some fun with Spencer, as a Ravens fan, about the Steelers winning the AFC North this past season. How did Spencer spend his first offseason in Pittsburgh?

NFL Draft analyst Ryan Wilson from CBS Sports joined the show. How could things break for the Steelers next Thursday in the 1st round of the NFL Draft? Ryan doesn’t expect more than 3 WRs to be off the board, with the top guys like Carnell Tate and Makai Lemon as the only obvious ones. Ryan thinks the WR group is so deep that you can still find a future WR1 in the 2nd round. Ryan believes Vega Ioane is a potential Top 10 pick by the time we get there. Ryan pointed to Germie Bernard as a find entering the second night. What type of prospect is Spencer Fano and could he be a real option for the Steelers at 21? Ryan would not be stunned if the Steelers trade back into the 1st round if Ty Simpson is still on the board at the end of the night. What do some of these other offensive linemen look like that could be late risers before next Thursday? Ryan believes it could be injuries that push Jordyn Tyson down the board, who may be the best WR in the draft otherwise. Ryan said Jermod McCoy could be a name at 21 that attracts the Steelers. Taylen Green is one of the most intriguing prospects in the draft class, but what is his value as a great athlete that can’t play QB all that well? Ryan said if you need to ask if any of these QBs are better than Will Howard then you probably shouldn’t draft one. Ioane feels like a Ravens pick at 14, but he could slip to the Steelers.
