We drill down into position coach sightings, area scout sightings and much more.<br /><br />Alex and I discuss the growing pre-draft visitor list on this Monday that now includes a few wide receivers.

We briefly hit on that topic after some research that I did on former first-round cornerbacks that exited college with a low interception amount.<br /><br />The Steelers will need to decide roughly a year from now if they want to pick up the fifth-year option on running back Najee Harris, so Alex and I discuss that topic for a bit. We also discuss the possibility of the Steelers drafting another running back this year.<br /><br />Will the Steelers turn to the XFL to add another tackle to their offseason roster? While we don't know for sure if they will, we discuss one left tackle with Pittsburgh ties who might be in the team's sights.<br /><br />We answer a few listener questions late in this show to close things out.
