Hour 1: The NFL Draft has come and gone and the Steelers have received rave reviews across the board. What do we think of the class?  South Dakota State head football coach Jimmy Rogers joined the show. Jimmy gave us the rundown on Mason McCormick, one of the newest Steelers as of this weekend. He said Mason is not only among the best offensive lineman in program history, but also one of the best in FCS history. He talked up Mason sticking around South Dakota State when he probably could have taken a nice NIL deal and moved up to an FBS program. The guys asked about Mason being described as the “meanest nice guy” by some scouts. He described the scene of the Mason draft party this past weekend. Jimmy said Mason is at his best when it comes to running the football and described him as a transformative leader.  North Carolina State defensive coordinator Tony Gibson joined the show.

North Carolina State defensive coordinator Tony Gibson joined the show. Tony coached Payton Wilson for multiple years at NC State and doesn’t understand why scouts think Wilson will only play for one contract in the league. Tony said in about 30 years of coaching he’s never had a guy like Wilson have a combination of every good trait. Tony told us to watch the NC State-Clemson game to see Payton at his best, but said there really isn’t a bad game you will find. He said Payton has a great wrestling background, which helps various aspects on the football field. Tony couldn’t believe Payton fell all the way to 98th overall.

Hour 4: We heard the introductory press conference of Troy Fautanu as he talked to the Steelers media for the first time. CBS NFL Draft analyst Ryan Wilson joined the show. Ryan gave his review of the Troy Fautanu pick. He thinks Fautanu is a plug and play type player. The guys went through a few players that could be on the Steelers radar around the 51st overall pick. Ryan suggested Zach Frazier as a player they could move up for tonight to select their center of the future. Ryan still likes Jackson Powers-Johnson and thinks if he trickles into the 40s, the Steelers should pick up the phone.

Hour 3: We looked into some ideas for what could happen tonight and which way the Steelers should go. Fans chimed in on their Day 2 thoughts.  Steelers insider Mark Kaboly from The Athletic joined the show. Mark thinks the selection of Troy Fautanu was a home run pick by the boys last night. Mark expects it to be a wait & see type method on where we see Fautanu and Broderick Jones play on the offensive line. Mark thinks they have their bookend tackles for the next 8-10 years. Mark said it doesn’t seem like the Steelers are super concerned about center and expects them to take a WR at 51. Is there still a possibility that the Steelers take a big swing at receiver via trade? Mark could see the Steelers trading up in the 2nd round tonight in pursuit of Cooper DeJean if he’s around their pick. Mark has no interest in Spencer Rattler being a Steeler.  Donny Football Debrief – A look at the future of the NFL schedule laid out by Roger Goodell.
