Hour 1 with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise: It's NFL Draft day! Dan Zangrilli joined to recap the madness that happened at the end of the show yesterday. What will the Steelers do at 20? We discuss a potential Brandon Aiyuk trade and what position we most want the Steelers to take. Steelers insider Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette joined the show. Batko would pick Amarius Mims of Georgia but also thinks Graham Barton is much in play. Would you trade the 1st round pick for Brandon Aiyuk and draft Zach Frazier in the second round? Brian wouldn't do it but understands why the Steelers would. The Steelers make splashier moves with Omar Khan and are more aggressive than years before. It's important to note the Steelers don't have as great of draft capital as last year with the JPJ pick at 32.

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise: Our Steelers draft questions. Antionio Brown is the best value pick the Steelers ever made. Who are some of the best and worst in Steelers history? CBS Sports NFL staff writer Garrett Podell joined the show. He had one of the most accurate mock drafts of anyone last year and thinks Alabama tackle JC Latham would be a good pick at 20. Graham Barton is an inside piece at center after playing tackle at Duke. He thinks Jackson Powers-Johnson is the best center available and Zach Frazier will be available in the second round.

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise: Nick Farabaugh of Steelers Now joined the show. Nick would pick JC Latham 20th overall but doesn't think he will be there. Pete Prisco has Brock Bowers 15th and Byron Murphy 16th to Seattle. Would you move up and pick them? The Steelers would have this luxury if they filled center and/or receiver in free agency. Tackle falls off in the second and third round but there are 15-20 decent receivers. Corner also is deeper. New England could trade back for a QB and Nick thinks Minnesota is a good fit for JJ McCarthy. Pitt insider Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette joined the show. Bub Means is a guy who is rising up draft boards as a guy Mel Kiper likes at receiver. Chris sees 3-4 Pitt guys being drafted. Graham Barton isn't the obvious pick many think and there are multiple guys who could be available. The Steelers need a premium offensive tackle who is similar to Broderick Jones.
