Long Form (multi topic, hourly/full show)

Steelers insider Mark Kaboly from The Athletic joined the show. Mark gave his thoughts from the Art Rooney II press conference as he was one of the lucky Pittsburgh media members in attendance. Mark expects it to be status quo going forward because Rooney always says he wants to build the team through the draft. Mark thinks Omar Khan will have more say in this upcoming draft and free agency period than people probably expect. He said Khan was likely cleared by Mike Tomlin and if the head coach didn’t want him as the GM after Kevin Colbert it probably wouldn’t have happened. Mark talked about the offensive line and thinks there should be work done to the left side even if it means moving up a few spots in the draft. Mark said it isn’t a slam dunk that Mitch Trubisky will be back next year even though Rooney seemed to speak highly of the backup QB. 

Who will have the most say-so in the Steelers war room during the draft? Mark Kaboly made it sound like Andy Weidl will put together the draft board then get input from Omar Khan and Mike Tomlin. Who will have the most power and who will have the least? And will it be even input? Will Khan have more of a Pro Football Focus type approach as a numbers/analytics guy? What combination of minds makes you feel better going into the draft? 

The guys bashed Donny for liking the band Creed.
