The Steelers did what so many people hoped they would do. They traded up to draft Michigan inside linebacker Devin Bush. Steelers beat writer Joe Rutter joins me to talk about how Kevin Colbert made the deal happen, what they will do next, and why Bush is being leveraged as justification for the Antonio Brown trade.

Fulfill your Fantasy at Cheerleaders (with the "Remembering Big Rob Party" tonight). It's our weekly fantasy sports Podcast with Jeff Erickson of Rotowire. Pirates injuries just part of a big trend in baseball. QB reaches in Thursday's draft. Where the skill position run may happen. Potential tight end stars. NHL playoff upsets.

DraftWire's Luke Easterling joins us on NFL Draft Day. He scouted the potential picks on defense Wednesday. Now he previews the offense. We talk about when in the draft it will make sense for the Steelers to think offense. We kick around some names the Steelers may try to obtain to offset the loss of Antonio Brown at wide receiver. Where will the quarterbacks go? Do the Steelers have an interest in either Ole Miss receiver or the Iowa tight ends? And we analyze the chances of Miles Sanders winding up in Pittsburgh.

The decision to call a major against the Vegas in the third period of Game 7 was terrible. But the Golden Knights need to look in the mirror too.

Luke Easterling of DraftWire joins me to talk about the defensive talent in the NFL Draft tomorrow. We figure out if the Steelers can move up to get Devin White or Devin Bush. We also try to envision what the Steelers may do in Round 1 if they fail to get one of those two inside linebackers. How is the pass rushing depth? And we investigate if there are possibilities at corner, safety and defensive line for Pittsburgh as well.

There seems to be one constant prediction for Thursday's NFL Draft. And it's bad news for the Steelers.

How complicated will it be for the Steelers to trade up for ILBs Devin White or Devin Bush? Pretty freaking complicated! I outline how layered such a move may be. Mike Tomlin and Kevin Colbert talk with me about the nuances of making a leap up the draft board. Plus, we examine the WRs in the draft too.

Even in a year where interest may be soft in the NFL Draft, it's still going to be a winner for the league.

The Steelers make it sound like they won't draft for need, but instead, will draft based on the "based player available" model. Guess what. This year they can do either, and we may never know the difference.
