The Pomp And Joe Show
12 PM: Ray Fittipaldo with the latest on Rodgers, Heyward, and Hill, the Bechtold Breakdown - tanking, Cronin, Aliquippa, bachelor parties

I just think there's a little bit too much of a risk there, even though, as I said, it's a very thin receiver's room at the moment.

The Pomp And Joe Show

and they could certainly use that help.

Yes.

I was on a conference call with Daniel Jeremiah of the NFL Network yesterday, and

The Pomp And Joe Show
12 PM: Ray Fittipaldo with the latest on Rodgers, Heyward, and Hill, the Bechtold Breakdown - tanking, Cronin, Aliquippa, bachelor parties

He thinks the Steelers can sit tight at number 21 and get a good receiver.

The Pomp And Joe Show
12 PM: Ray Fittipaldo with the latest on Rodgers, Heyward, and Hill, the Bechtold Breakdown - tanking, Cronin, Aliquippa, bachelor parties

He doesn't think they have to trade up to get a receiver, and he referenced this draft for the Steelers as a quote-unquote perimeter draft.

The Pomp And Joe Show

So he thinks it's going to be heavy on receivers and then cornerbacks for them because, as everyone in Pittsburgh knows, they spent a tremendous amount of draft resources โ€“

The Pomp And Joe Show
12 PM: Ray Fittipaldo with the latest on Rodgers, Heyward, and Hill, the Bechtold Breakdown - tanking, Cronin, Aliquippa, bachelor parties

on the offensive and defensive lines in the last couple of drafts.

The Pomp And Joe Show
12 PM: Ray Fittipaldo with the latest on Rodgers, Heyward, and Hill, the Bechtold Breakdown - tanking, Cronin, Aliquippa, bachelor parties

He believes, and I think a lot of people in Pittsburgh believe, that now it's time to go out and surround your quarterbacks, surround your offense, surround those linemen with good skill position players.

The Pomp And Joe Show
12 PM: Ray Fittipaldo with the latest on Rodgers, Heyward, and Hill, the Bechtold Breakdown - tanking, Cronin, Aliquippa, bachelor parties

They have DK Metcalf.

The Pomp And Joe Show
12 PM: Ray Fittipaldo with the latest on Rodgers, Heyward, and Hill, the Bechtold Breakdown - tanking, Cronin, Aliquippa, bachelor parties

They don't have too much else beyond that, and I think it's time to finally address that need.

The Pomp And Joe Show
12 PM: Ray Fittipaldo with the latest on Rodgers, Heyward, and Hill, the Bechtold Breakdown - tanking, Cronin, Aliquippa, bachelor parties

Oh, boy.

The Pomp And Joe Show
12 PM: Ray Fittipaldo with the latest on Rodgers, Heyward, and Hill, the Bechtold Breakdown - tanking, Cronin, Aliquippa, bachelor parties

I did it on a Tuesday, Austin, so you're really... I'm going a little bit too far back into the wayback machine.

The Pomp And Joe Show
12 PM: Ray Fittipaldo with the latest on Rodgers, Heyward, and Hill, the Bechtold Breakdown - tanking, Cronin, Aliquippa, bachelor parties

Yeah, but I will say just another note on the receivers.

The Pomp And Joe Show
12 PM: Ray Fittipaldo with the latest on Rodgers, Heyward, and Hill, the Bechtold Breakdown - tanking, Cronin, Aliquippa, bachelor parties

Jeremiah said yesterday, and we all know about the top four receivers in this draft.

The Pomp And Joe Show
12 PM: Ray Fittipaldo with the latest on Rodgers, Heyward, and Hill, the Bechtold Breakdown - tanking, Cronin, Aliquippa, bachelor parties

There's four that are, I think, slam-dunk first-round picks.

The Pomp And Joe Show
12 PM: Ray Fittipaldo with the latest on Rodgers, Heyward, and Hill, the Bechtold Breakdown - tanking, Cronin, Aliquippa, bachelor parties

Austin, he has 19 receivers with a first, a second...

The Pomp And Joe Show
12 PM: Ray Fittipaldo with the latest on Rodgers, Heyward, and Hill, the Bechtold Breakdown - tanking, Cronin, Aliquippa, bachelor parties

or a third-round grade.

The Pomp And Joe Show
12 PM: Ray Fittipaldo with the latest on Rodgers, Heyward, and Hill, the Bechtold Breakdown - tanking, Cronin, Aliquippa, bachelor parties

So when you think about that, depending on how many comp picks there are, that's roughly the top 100 picks.

The Pomp And Joe Show
12 PM: Ray Fittipaldo with the latest on Rodgers, Heyward, and Hill, the Bechtold Breakdown - tanking, Cronin, Aliquippa, bachelor parties

So 20% of the first three rounds are going to be spent on receivers.
