How many guys out of the Steelers draft class make an impact this season? Poni bet on the Steelers to make the playoffs. And will Kenny Pickett take that big step we are hoping for? The guys also went through the players from the 2020 draft that got their fifth-year option declined – the list isn’t pretty. 

Former Steeler Arthur Moats joined the show. Arthur thinks Nick Herbig has a game that can translate to the NFL level and can do similar things to TJ Watt, just not as well. Arthur said he’d much rather have technique over physical traits because a player built like a God doesn’t always become the best player. Arthur gave his breakdown of Broderick Jones and what we can expect from him at the NFL level. He thinks Jones has the most athleticism and potential of any offensive tackle coming out of the draft and agreed with Chris that he could certainly become the best tackle in Steelers history. Arthur said he loves the Joey Porter Jr. pick, but Darnell Washington was his favorite player drafted. He thinks the Steelers are a playoff team next season, but it comes down a lot to Kenny Pickett.

The experts seemed to love the Steelers draft. How much do the odds makers? They still don’t believe the Steelers are a playoff team. Do we? Poni thinks right now you can lock in the Steelers as a top 7 in the AFC. Donny and Chris aren’t sold just yet.

Purdue football insider Tom Dienhart joined the show. Tom broke down what the Steelers are getting in Cory Trice, who they took in the 7th round on Saturday. Tom talked about Cory changing a position the moment he came to Purdue and started as a freshman in his first game. Chris asked if Charlie Jones will be an issue for the Steelers after getting drafted by the Bengals over the weekend. Tom thinks Trice is more of a depth guy or nickel corner and will be used a lot on special teams early on.
