Benny Snell, Jr. is quickly becoming the glowing pick from this weekend's draft (aside from Devin Bush). Selected in the 4th Round, Snell embodies the characteristics of a traditional Steelers running back: tough, bruising runner that's tough to bring down. Matt Jones of KentuckySportsRadio.com can't say enough about who he claims is the best back in Wildcat history. Billy Gardell doesn't wanna use dryer sheets anymore, but he will be at Mountaineer Casino, Resort and Racetrack this Saturday.

Outside of Devin Bush's First Round selection, there were some other noteworthy picks in this weekends draft centering other areas of concern for the Steelers - namely Special Teams. Which current Steelers may be out of a job this season thanks to this weekend's picks? Ray Fittipaldo as the answers and moreSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ray Fittipaldo and Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette break down what seems to be an exceptionally promising draft class for the Steelers, highlighted by First Rounder Devin Bush as well as some potential late round steals. Aside from the NFL Draft, it was a huge weekend on the big screen and the small screen with the new Avengers movie debuting and episode three of Game of Thrones. Can't promise we won't spoil it!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Devin Bush was always the Steelers top selection, and they were able to secure him at an affordable price, according to Mark Kaboly. But what does this selection do to the rest of the defensive depth chart, and who will see less snaps as a result? Also, where do the Steelers go from here throughout the rest of the draft?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mark Kaboly of The Athletic echoes sentiments of Steeler Nation by applauding GM Kevin Colbert's decision to trade up in the draft to select Devin Bush with the 10th overall pick in last night's 1st Round. Will the Steelers deal to get back in the 2nd Round? Tim Benz would like to see it.

The GodFather of Pittsburgh Sports relishes in the Capitals defeat at the hands of former Penguin Jordan Staal and Mr. Game Seven Justin Williams. Also, what is next for the Pittsburgh Steelers who officially begin life after Bell and Brown with tonight's 20th overall selection in the NFL Draft - and will they complete a package to trade up? It's not likely, but who will they end up taking?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Big Cat from Barstool Sports misses the good ole days when the NFL Draft was just on Saturday and Sunday, Gerry Dulac and Stan Savran don't envision the Steelers trading up to secure an ILB, rather playing it safe and taking a CB with tonight's 20th pick. Cole Tucker has been on cloud 9 since homering in his first plate appearance, today he closes out a four game series against his hometown team before flying across the country to face off against a life long friend.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The new Pirates sensation Cole Tucker has been applauded upon entering local restaurants after his two-run blast in his first MLB plate appearance. The rookie shortstop looks to keep the magic going in the series finale this afternoon against his hometown team the Arizona Diamondbacks, and before he hits the road to face off against his childhood friend Cody Bellinger of the LA Dodgers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette doesn't see the Steelers taking a coveted ILB in tonight's First Round of the NFL Draft. The Steelers would likely have to package together a few third round picks and then some in order to move up high enough to secure one of the Devin's. What's more likely is the Steelers staying with their 20th overall position and taking a Corner.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Big Cat of Barstool Sports says PFT was way too cocky in predicting the Capitals would return to the Stanley Cup Final, and remembers the good ol' days when the NFL Draft was on a Saturday and a Sunday rather than stretched out over three nights. And Darren Rovell is going down!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The SuperGenius insists the Steelers must trade up if they want to make a significant addition to the defense by adding a valuable ILB threat. But, where should the Black and Gold turn if they can't get a Bush in the first round?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jeff Konkle (Mr. Wednesday) is pumped for the new Avengers movie, but is not particularly pumped about finding crumbled up Long John Silver's bags in his wife's car.
