Instead of telling us if a guy was a bad guy, he just called them ‘interesting.' Mark said there is “no way” Aaron Rodgers was coming out of a Strip District hotel this morning. Mark took a guess at when Rodgers is here. Mark chatted with Mason Rudolph earlier this week, but Mason couldn't say for sure when Rodgers is showing up – they are all just assuming. We also spent some time talking about the Harry Callas political run that fell just shy of a chair seat in Green Tree. More w/ Mark – Mark reacted to Booger McFarland claiming the Steelers are ‘taking years' off the life of their defense. Mark does not think the veterans are upset with Mason Rudolph or will be upset with him if he ends up being the QB. He said the team should be upset at the succession plan since Ben Roethlisberger retired. Mark said we haven't seen Mason work with Arthur Smith or his offense – and added that Aaron Rodgers would want a lot of control. Would Smith have preferred Justin Fields at QB? Mark isn't worried about Cam Heyward or TJ Watt sitting out any practices. More w/ Mark – Poni asked Mark why he was looking up Donny's highlights earlier this week. Does Mark buy into any of the conspiracy theories that Joe Rogan may have talked to Aaron Rodgers about? Did Mark have any other tea on George Pickens following his departure?

Steelers correspondent Mark Kaboly from The Pat McAfee Show joined the show. Where does Mark zero-out on Mike Tomlin entering his 19th season? Mark applauded the Steelers a bit for ‘rebuilding' seasons still netting them 8 to 9 wins per season. Mark thinks the next couple of years have to lead to ‘significant' runs. Mark thinks Art Rooney is a future HOFer and would be the deciding factor in ending things with Tomlin down the road, not Tomlin making the choice himself. Mark said Rooney has been a major factor in pushing the Steelers to a more digital age. Chris and Mark talked about some of the lack of on-field evolution from Tomlin and the Steelers in recent years. More w/ Mark – Mark defended his stance on why he thinks Art Rooney II will eventually be a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Mark mentioned something Arthur Smith said about Najee last week. Chris asked Mark about the Steelers going with an edge rusher in Jack Sawyer in the 4th round. Was Shedeur Sanders on the Steelers draft board, or was he on it at all? Mark wants people to slow the roll with Will Howard becoming a star. At pick 185, it's fine if Howard is a long-term backup that doesn't get a ton of snaps during the offseason. More w/ Mark – Power Rankings.

Adam Crowley, Dorin Dickerson and Mark Kaboly react to breaking news that Mike Sullivan and the Penguins have parted ways.
Steelers correspondent Mark Kaboly from The Pat McAfee Show joined the show. Mark also had the Steelers selecting Derrick Harmon, so he is taking a victory lap today. The guys talked about the differing opinions when it came to the mock drafts leading up to the 21st pick with so many names expecting the Steelers to pick Shedeur Sanders. There was an agreement that ESPN went to pretty embarrassing levels to shill for Sanders last night. The conversation then shifted to the 83rd pick and if Sanders is still there. Mark speculated on the order of importance for the Steelers if Harmon wasn't on the board for them at 21. Mark is still adamant that Aaron Rodgers is a done deal. Mark didn't buy into any of the Kirk Cousins news or rumors that the Steelers had interest. Mark gave quite the interesting QB name to look out for in the draft. More w/ Mark – Mark thinks the Steelers would have moved George Pickens already if he asked for a trade. The guys asked Mark how much of an issue it could be for the Steelers and Pickens if he goes into a lame duck season. More w/ Mark – Mark thinks pick 83 is RB and hopefully one of the Ohio State guys, although he admitted that is wishful thinking. Mark thinks DJ Giddens is a real option and mentioned why there are some fumble concerns with a few guys. Could the Steelers really be looking at edge rusher tonight? Mark suggested the Steelers would ‘sprint' to the podium for Jalen Milroe if he's there at 83. Mark expects the Steelers to pick another DL this weekend.
Hour 3 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Zangrilli thinks teams are afraid of what could happen if they go against analytics, so they hide behind the data to give a reason for their moves. Mark Kaboly thinks the Steelers will pick DT Derrick Harmon and SHOULD pick Harmon. He doesn't think the Steelers will be able to move back. Mark thinks the big praise that Mike Tomlin gave Shedeur Sanders is a smokescreen.

Steelers correspondent Mark Kaboly from the Pat McAfee Show joined the show. Mark reacted to the Aaron Rodgers interview that aired yesterday on the Pat McAfee Show. Mark said he thought Rodgers sounded very believable in what he said. Mark still believes that Rodgers wants to play for the Steelers. He said the Steelers still feel very confident that Rodgers will end up here. Mark said that he doesn't think this was their original plan and that it was likely bringing Justin Fields back. Mark doesn't see going with Mason Rudolph in the interim as a terrible thing. More w/ Mark – Mark said he has not heard that Shedeur Sanders bombed his interview with the Steelers like a few have reported. Mark's opinion is that the Steelers will work their way back into the 2nd round next week. Mark got the sense that the Steelers will not be trading George Pickens. The guys debated when Jaxson Dart would get drafted. Mark feels like Derrick Harmon is their pick if he's there. Mark would not cross off Omarion Hampton in the 1st round. Mark ranked the Steelers offensive lineman going into next season. More w/ Mark – We spent a few minutes talking about Easter food. Poni took Mark through the last decade of Steelers 1st round picks, which only produced TJ Watt as a ‘hit.' Mark's prediction is that Derrick Harmon will be the player chosen at 21st overall.
If Shedeur Sanders is there at 21, Mark thinks it will depend on who is still on the board. Mark thinks the quarterbacks will be gone in the top 20 picks anyway. Mark doesn't think the Steelers will make a big trade to acquire a second rounder. There is less of a chance they take a running back in the first round, but probably will not far after it.
Hour 3 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Will the Steelers trade George Pickens at the draft? Does it make sense to trade Pickens when they sign Rodgers? If Shedeur Sanders is there at 21, Mark thinks it will depend on who is still on the board. Mark thinks the quarterbacks will be gone in the top 20 picks anyway.

ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi does not think Aaron Rodgers will sign the dotted line today at the Pat McAfee event in town. Will the Steelers draft Shedeur Sanders? Aditi thinks that Jaxson Dart could be a real option at 21. She said he's gotten comps to Baker Mayfield. Aditi said Jalen Milroe is an interesting prospect because he's such a boom or bust player. Aditi suggested that the Steelers would ‘jump' at Dart in the 1st round if he's there. The guys asked Aditi if Milroe has any comparisons to Malik Willis, who fell in the draft a few years ago. Aditi reacted to Burt Lauten calling out Mark Kaboly on Twitter for reporting something last week. Aditi thinks teams can get into trouble if they constantly draft for need over the best available player.
