Joe thinks it's like the ball dropping at Times Square. Austin is very excited for the draft and wants to go.

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey and Brian Batko: Brian thinks the draft is exciting! Austin posted a Twitter poll that has gone back and forth between fun and boring, it is very close. Would people boo the Steelers picking Ty Simpson? The Steelers have hired Steve Scarnecchia as chief of staff, son of Patriots coach Dante Scarnecchia.

Hour 4 with Joe Starkey, Austin Bechtold, and Brian Batko: Bruce Arians thinks Will Howard is the future of the Steelers. It's much different when Arians says that Howard is very good compared to random people. Brian Batko thinks people need to act normal with Will Howard. Who is the next Steelers Hall of Famer? Cam Heyward and T.J. Watt have been very quiet surrounding Mike McCarthy and the Steelers.

Bruce Arians thinks Will Howard is the future of the Steelers. It's much different when Arians says that Howard is very good compared to random people. Brian Batko thinks people need to act normal with Will Howard. Relying on Will Howard as a plan isn't something that is worth betting on.

The Steelers have hired Steve Scarnecchia as chief of staff, son of Patriots coach Dante Scarnecchia. Steve was fired in Denver for illegally videotaping a team's walkthrough. Brian thinks this will involve making sure things are on time and overseeing parts of the staff. Could this involve helping Mike McCarthy with game challenges?

Brian Batko thinks the draft is exciting! Austin posted a Twitter poll that has gone back and forth between fun and boring, it is very close. Brian doesn't think he'd enjoy it in person. Joe thinks the in-person draft is not for him. Should you find it entertaining?

Bruce Arians said that Will Howard is "the future of Pittsburgh." Arians said he thinks that Howard has a ton of upside. Joe has an open mind surrounding Howard but this is crazy to think. We dive into what draft analysts and college football analysts said about Will Howard before the draft.

Mason Rudolph had a great tribute message to Mike Tomlin. He said Tomlin had a Denzel Washington-like swagger. How should we remember Mike Tomlin? The first five years was an A+ winning the Super Bowl. They lost to Tim Tebow in a heartbreaking matchup but Joe said they would have lost the next game. Joe gives Tomlin overall a B- and thinks he was easy to root for. Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft were held out of the Hall of Fame.
