Hour 4: What are some of the weird things that NFL teams ask players in the interview stage of the combine? We took a look at the Top 50 players in the draft, according to Daniel Jeremiah. It was discovered that there are a lot of highly graded right tackles in the first 20 names. Who are the players and what are the positions that should be avoided at 20th overall?  Where should the Steelers be thinking at 20th overall? Do the Steelers see tackle as a real need?  Antonio Brown sat down for a podcast interview and said Ben Roethlisberger should have thrown every single pass his way. He had quite a few funny moments. Was he drunk? Was he high? Was he both? Poni also didn’t think Shane Gillis was very good on SNL.

Hour 3: Is Russell Wilson to the Steelers a real thing? Poni thinks Omar Khan could be the biggest proponent for the move to happen if it’s a player playing for well under his value.

How much better off will the Steelers be if Wilson is the QB?  How do fans feel about the idea of Russell Wilson in Pittsburgh?  Donny Football Debrief – Peter King has announced his retirement. Is he the best football writer ever? Ryan Clark also got a new deal from ESPN.
