The Terrible Podcast - Talking Steelers’ Recent Pre-Draft Visitors, Dane Brugler Draft Guide & More

April 10, 2024 -
Season 14, Episode 113 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday show, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the New York Giants signing former Pittsburgh Steelers WR Miles Boykin on Tuesday. The discussion focuses on the Steelers now having lost their two special teams gunners so far this offseason in Boykin and CB James Pierre.
The Steelers keep adding to their pre-draft visitor list, so we talk about the most recent players visiting Pittsburgh. We spend a lot of time talking about former Texas WR Adonai Mitchell and where he ranks in this year’s draft class at the position and if he could be in play as the 20th overall selection.
Later in the show, we discuss the Steelers having former Oregon C Jackson Powers-Johnson in as one of their two pre-draft visitors on Wednesday and the significance of that happening.
Alex and I go over the contract details related to new Steelers TE MyCole Pruitt and where that leaves the team at in terms of available 2024 salary cap space. We also discuss the redistribution of cash the Steelers have had since early February as part of their offseason roster reshaping.
Alex and I have a spirited discussion about the possibility of the Steelers signing RB Jaylen Warren to a contract extension this offseason and what a new average per year amount might look like if they do.
With Wednesday being the release of the annual Dane Brugler draft guide on The Athletic, Alex and I dive into some of his positional rankings in this show. We focus on the center, tackle, wide receiver, defensive tackle, and cornerback positions when it comes to Brugler’s draft guide in relation to the Steelers needs.
Several other minor topics not noted are also discussed in this 111-minute episode, and we end things by answering several emails that we received from listeners.

Thankyou a person that fully understands what Adonai Mitchell is. He is a complete player. A playmaker extraordinaire.

If I was Omar Khan, I would offer Jaylen Warren 4 mil. a year for 3 years NOW, instead of waiting till next year (after signing Naji Harris). Sometimes being a little generous now goes a long way towards benefitting later with players. You guys were talking 3.8 a year, so 4 ain't a big stretch, but it makes you look generous towards a player that deserves it.

The way the Steelers have treated people evolved in their system is the reason Boykin left.
I also feel there is so much talent in the draft at WR, so…..

It often felt like Boykin didn't do anything special in special teams. Overran the punts like crazy.

Pay that man his worth!

Would you trade next year's 1st, 51 and 98 to Miami for 21 trade 20 to the cowboys for 24 and 66 I think. Then trade 21 to Tb for 27 90 108 and multiple additional picks next year and take Ad mitchell and Graham Barton and draft Roger Rosengarten and Renardo green and Jermaine Burton all this I'm saying I did in mockdraft.
