HOUR 3 - Greg Brown, Jon Ledyard, Debrief

Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown joined the show. The guys asked Brownie why Enmanuel Valdez is getting so much run in prominent roles in the lineup every night. Greg said the necklaces could become the Pirates rally cry if they get going. Why is Tommy Pham still getting so much run? Greg touted the work of the bullpen as of late and said the problems will be solved if they simply score some runs. What can Jack Suwinski do to fix his issues and stay on the big-league roster? Audibles & Analytics podcast host Jon Ledyard joined the show. The guys had a few Shedeur Sanders questions off the bat and if he is as good or as bad as some draft experts see him. Jon said Sanders will only be as good as the structure around him, like a Brock Purdy in San Francisco at his best. Jon doesn’t think Sanders has a special arm. Jon would not take a QB in the 1st round of this draft, citing the bad track record of that position in that spot of the draft along with the Steelers recent history there. Jon likes Will Howard in the middle rounds as someone to take a chance on. Jon thinks Jahdae Barron should be on the Steelers radar in the 1st round – a player that provides defensive versatility. Donny Football Debrief – Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders will have their numbers retired at Colorado. Fair or foul?
