Summary

April 29 – Ep. 53: On this episode of The Depot Dive, Joe Clark and Ross McCorkle dive right into recapping the Steelers' 2025 NFL Draft class. We discuss Derrick Harmon and his reported injury concern, the theme of marrying great value with positional need and which pick was our favorite of the class. For the next topic, we discuss the quarterback position after the Steelers passed on the position until the sixth round. We talk about the clear smokescreen that the Steelers used at quarterback, and whether we were surprised that they passed on a quarterback in the first and third rounds. We also talk about QB Will Howard and how he fits into the equation now and in the future. For the third topic, we discuss a report that the Dallas Cowboys reached out about trading for George Pickens during the draft. To wrap things up we answer a listener question about which pick we would change if we had to choose.

0:00.0	Welcome back everybody to another episode of the Depot dive. I'm Ross McCorkwell, your host and above me here on the screen.
0:06.4	My co-host as always is Joe Clark, and we have a lot to talk about today. The 2025 NFL draft is in the books, and the Steelers, much to the national media's dis dismay did not take a quarterback in the first round
0:24.2	we're going to talk about just the basic recap of the draft some of the bullet points and kind of
0:29.7	high-level overview of what went down during the draft then we're going to dive into the
0:35.2	quarterback situation including the Steelers drafting will Howard in the sixth round. And finally, we'll talk about George Pickens and a trade
0:44.6	that potentially maybe almost happened if you are to listen to some of the reports out there,
0:50.6	but obviously did not. Joe, everything is in the books. Give me your favorite pick,
0:58.4	just off the rip. What is the favorite pick? I'm going to know with Caleb Johnson. I mean,
1:04.7	he's a guy that I didn't think was going to be there in the third round for the Steelers.
1:09.0	He fits Arthur Smith's offense really well.
1:11.4	I think he's a lot faster than what he ran.
1:13.9	I think his 40 was, what, 4, 5, 7.
1:15.8	I think he's a lot faster than that.
1:17.3	He had, I think, 21 runs at 20 plus yards.
1:19.7	He has a lot of explosiveness, I think, in the backfields.
1:22.3	Two Pittsburgh's offense.
1:24.3	I just think that was, you know, a really solid pick. They didn't have to move up for him.
1:27.9	They were able to sit there at number 83 in the third round and take a guy that I thought
1:32.2	was going to be gone by, you know, the first, by the second half of the second round.
1:36.3	So that was a pick I really liked one of my favorite running backs and they were able to
1:39.7	grab them and get good value out of them.
1:43.5	Yeah, I saw some college, like, statistic type stuff.
