Schofield dissects McCarthy's comments, highlighting his glowing praise for rookie quarterback Will Howard and his emphasis on quarterback hand size and arm length—citing legends like Rodgers and Favre—as well as his non-traditional approach to receiver roles. The host also explores broader Steelers roster questions, including the offensive line's depth, the potential trade of Patrick Queen, and the team's wide receiver draft strategy. Schofield argues against a first-round receiver pick but remains open to later-round value, while cautioning against reaching. He engages the live chat with a key question: at what draft round should the Steelers add a quarterback? Responses range from sixth round to passing on the position entirely. The episode concludes with a heartfelt tribute to Big Brosco and the host’s niece and nephew on their shared 14th birthday, as well as a promotional push for the upcoming Steel Curtain Network Draft Party in Hagerstown, Maryland.

I thought it might've been about OTAs. And if, and if it's about not wanting to participate at OTAs, then I don't get why he would, he would sign any earlier than he did last year, but maybe that's not it.

You could say, I mean, I would love for Patrick Queen, if they do not trade him as people we're talking, for Patrick Queen to suddenly really take off in Coach Graham's defense. But – You also have to look, what if he takes even more of a step back? It's possible.
