| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone. I'm Matt Williamson. How's everyone doing? |
| 0:09.3 | Draft is inching towards us here, and I will be at the owner's meeting. |
| 0:15.6 | I think I mentioned this, but I'm leaving Saturday coming home Wednesday. |
| 0:19.2 | We're going to do three, three-hour shows from down there and all kinds of good stuff. |
| 0:25.0 | Hopefully get some more scoop. |
| 0:26.7 | Maybe we get some Rogers news between now and then. |

| 1:29.0 | So as it stands now, and this is not an exact science, but people that I trust that do |
| 1:34.1 | these calculations, think the Steelers right now will get an additional third, fourth, fifth, and sixth compensatory pick, not for this |
| 1:51.0 | upcoming draft in a month or so, a year from now. And that's kind of lowballing it, because if |
| 1:57.2 | Wilson plays X amount of snaps and has X amount of success, that could even get better. |
