Steelers reporter Nick Farabaugh from Penn Live dot com joined the show. Nick told the guys about his trip to the Senior Bowl last week. Nick said the Steelers are not interested in the QB crop in this year’s draft, at least they didn’t show it in any of the group he saw. He thinks the team is a lot more interested in the 2026 QB class. Nick brought up the defensive line group because that was the crew that garnered the most attention from Steelers brass. Nick described the DL group as an all-time deep position group. How much does Keeanu Benton have to step up? Nick talked about how involved Mike Tomlin is in the Senior Bowl activities.

More w/ Nick – Nick talked about the overall draft class in 2025 and how some scouts think the middle part of it is flush and there aren’t a ton of elite players. Nick doesn’t understand the hype over Jaxson Dart as he climbs up the ranks. How are some of these QBs? Nick is interested in some of the tools that guys can offer, but he thinks there will be some better players slipping into the middle rounds. Nick does not see Quinshon Judkins being a Steeler because he is too similar to Najee Harris as a player. Nick thinks Emeka Egbuka is a very high-floor player, but the ceiling may not be sky-high.

More w/ Nick – Nick said it’s so hard to tell if George Pickens will be a Steeler by Week 1, but he expects him to follow the Brandon Aiyuk playbook in training camp. The key to Pickens’ performance banks on the team getting him involved early. Nick talked about the Steelers current QB situation and why he still likes Justin Fields back as the team’s starting QB. But how much will they hold him back in the offense or cater to his strengths? Nick described the offense under Arthur Smith as a disaster in the first year. He speculated that Russell Wilson could get, maybe, $15M per year.
