Bloom, I have to know if your college professors automatically dropped two of those little blue exam essay books on your desk or are you just overly excited about football? There are moments when I expect to hear Cecil cut in with the "Mr. Bloom, the red light is on, please honor the time limits". But hey, it's all good and each of you get us pumped up about football.

Can Jerry Peria play end in a 3-4 defense?

Who are a couple of players that may fall into the top of the third round that teams would try to move up to get?

Hi Guys

Great job on those podcasts keep them coming.

I’m in need of a TE in two of my dynasty leagues this year and wondering what offensive system would give the most upside of the following players who are looking at the TE position? It seems that Buffalo, Philly, AZ, Jax are in the market amongst others. Where do these guys go and who is the best fit?

Pettigrew

Cook (really like)

Casey (the tape looks good hear as well)

Nelson (have not seen much)

Coffman (good numbers in college but is he a system guy)

Thanks,

Tones

[Chachi]

Could you let Mr. Dillard know Chachi from FBG is rooting for him in the NFL and wishes him the best of luck. Could you ask him who his favorite NFL team is?

What do you guys and Mr. Dillard think of the slow track debate, could the guys running on the track first have an advantage(due to footing), Is Lucas field slower than the RCA dome, why were the electronic (official times) all slower than the unofficial times?

What about Chris Wells combine performance, did his stock change? I am of the mind that he didn't hurt himself at all, 4.59 for a 6'1" 237 pound guy coupled with his long jump doesn't raise any flags for me and on tape he looks like he has football speed. I would think his interviews carried alot more weight to the scouts than the measurable which I thought was fine.

Breakdown Donald Brown in detail. His stock seems to be rising and it would be good to hear what the three of you think.

I was hoping to be able to call in this evening, but that may not happen. Just in case I'll throw some stuff here:

1. Jarron Gilbert: React!! Did his strong combine potentially vault him into consideration for the late first? If not, where do you guys think he winds up realistically projecting.

2. The Steelers have hit Willie Colon with the highest tender. Ain't no team in their right gourd giving up a first rounder for Willie Colon, which I assume the Steelers fully realize, so are they trying to tell us that they're comfy with him as their starting RT for the foreseeable? I expect if they went ahead and tendered him at that level they are and will be looking to extend his contract soon. I also expect they are likely viewing him as a tackle only(just a hunch). As much as we fans talk about him moving to G, I've never seen one instance where Steelers' brass have suggested it. Thoughts?

3. The Steelers didn't tender Tony Smith at all, making him a UFA. So, right now the only safeties behind the starters on the roster are Ty Carter and Ryan Mundy. Clark's a UFA next season, I believe. Does this make S a mid-round consideration this year for Pitty? They reportedly like Mundy, buuuuut.....

4. Darius Butler, Macho Harris, Joe Burnett....React!! Where do you see those three projecting now post-combine.

5. As I typed, it was also announced Pittsburgh has cut Kendall Simmons. Does that guarantee they're going to bring back Dr. False-Start, M.D., Kemoeatu? Or does it give more legs to the Saturday rumors? Right now, they don't have a true LG on the roster.

6. Cornelius Lewis: Thoughts?

Thanks much, as always.

 

[beachbum]

With the Bills releasing Robert Royal, do you think they'll draft a TE in the first three rounds this year? And if so, what rookie TE would make sense in the 2nd or 3rd rounds?

Also, do you think the Bills draft QB somewhere in this draft?

Love the show!

 

[Jack Black]

Hey guys....

Now that the combines are over. Which of the skill guys made the big move up & down the board?

Jack Black old no 7...

 

[r3t2]

BLOOM, when's the Post Combine 100 coming out?

btw fellas, i passed a sporting goods store in Broomfield that had a 3 foot by 2 foot terrible towel in the front window, with some eddie royal jerseys also in plain view. back home i cannot imagine anything but steeler gear in a window. steeler nation is INSANE!

 

[Bri]

Gotta touch on free agency on the eve of FA. Look forward to the interview, love it when Bloom, Cec, and Andrew get all fired up about college players but please save some time for FA.

 

[The Riv]

Yes, please(!) on just a bit of F.A. speculation.
