tailgate rocking and rolling with NFL draft first round reaction. That's what we're doing today.

0:49.8

We're going to react to last night. We're going to look ahead, a couple storylines, couple picks,

0:53.4

then a couple players to keep an eye on. We'll do a little bit by conference. We'll do, it was Big Ten. We'll do a little bit by school. It was Ohio State. And we'll see, you know, how those things balance out. We, there were, as many projected, a whole boatload of tackles. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven

1:13.1

tackles taken among those 32 and not just one, but two quarterbacks, including a very

1:20.5

interesting position. So, but we were going to sort of tackle these one by one. Keep filling

1:25.1

up your questions in the tailgate. This is a very, informal hangout discussing where we're at. And speaking of where we're at, Danny Cannell,

1:32.8

you are in Pittsburgh. You've been to, and you've been to NFL drafts before on the media side.

1:39.1

What's the, what's the vibe like in the Steel City? It's awesome. I mean, it's, I was in Nashville, which might be one that

1:45.4

felt like it couldn't be topped. That was one of the early ones they went to and it was insane.

1:50.3

A couple of things that was pretty cool. So one, when I was flying up here on the flight,

1:53.4

I had a layover in Atlanta. And then from Atlanta to Pittsburgh, I was kind of blown away

1:57.5

by seeing Cowboys jerseys, Patriots jerseys, Eagles jerseys,

2:02.8

just all different fans who just want to come to the draft to support their teams. And I thought

2:08.2

that was pretty interesting. And then Pittsburgh, man, the black and yellow was out in full force,

2:13.5

ton of Steelers jerseys all over the place. You know, the, the break in the record of 320 plus fans, which as I was leaving downtown last night, all trying to leave at the same time. That wasn't exactly the most fun. It took about an hour to get to our hotel, which was only about three miles. I honestly was about to walk. I'm like, it's not that far. I'd rather walk in a half hour than sit in the car for an hour, but pretty incredible. Hilarious, though. Hilarious. So we're in the sports bar, McFadden's big stealer contingent. And so all night, you know, you're trying to tease the Steelers pick, right? They pick 21. Where are they going to go? Are they going to do quarterback? And then Ty Simpson goes and we'll talk about that. But then it's like, all right, pick 21. What do they do now? And so I actually took video of it because, you know, you want to get the reaction from the fans. And I'm telling you, when they announced our guy's name, who I still have trouble pronouncing the linemen out of it was like crickets
