Do people take some analysts less seriously if they didn’t accomplish a ton in the league? The guys referenced Tim Hasselbeck and Dan Orlovsky as examples. We think they absolutely pull the card of “you weren’t good in the league! Boo!”

A report is out there that Justin Fields could be traded as soon as next week. What are the chances the Steelers will be the highest bidder? The guys don’t have their percentages very high. Which team fits the mold the best?

From '1st & Pod' (subscribe here): Danny Parkins and Andrew Fillipponi react to Justin Fields' comments on the St. Brown Brothers podcast and why the Bears will trade him soon.

Hour 4: Terry Bradshaw is back to defend Kenny Pickett. He told Rich Eisen they should build around the QB and not worry about making the “mistake” of trading for Justin Fields. The guys think Terry’s comments are heard, but also have something to do with how his career started 50 years ago. How high can Pickett’s ceiling be? What part of Pickett’s games are you worried about the most? 

Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray does not see a trade happening that would send Diontae Johnson out of Pittsburgh, mostly because it leaves a huge hole at receiver with nobody left to fill it. Ray thinks Ryan Tannehill would fit into the system and likes the idea of a veteran QB helping a young QB like Kenny Pickett in what is a very vital season of his career. Ray doesn’t expect Mason Rudolph to be back like a few others seem to expect. Ray wants the team to get a lot younger at corner and along the defensive line.

Hour 3: It seems like there is a growing sentiment among Steelers insiders that the team could look into a trade involving Diontae Johnson this off-season. Should the Steelers actually do it? The Steelers seem to strike at the right time when it comes to moving on from a receiver. How high would the team’s price be? Or will the Steelers make it a priority to keep Johnson around? 

Steve Palazzolo from Pro Football Focus joined the show. Steve thinks the Steelers could net a 3rd round pick for Diontae Johnson in a trade. Steve gave a layout as to what the WR free agent market looks like as of now. Steve said he isn’t in love with the second or third set of receiver targets on the open market. Steve gave his best fit for which QB to pair with Kenny Pickett – Ryan Tannehill. Steve thinks both the classes at corner and offensive tackle are strong heading into the draft, but gives the edge to corner having better value.
