00:00 Mason Cole Center for the Pittsburgh Steelers the Steelers love him. They like his leadership. They like his intangibles
00:06 They would like him a little bit more as a backup center slash swing guard
00:10 That's what he's played for a good chunk of his NFL career. I look at just two sides of this coin here
00:16 I love Mason Cole. I think you love Mason Cole Mason Cole is like the best human in the Pittsburgh Steelers locker room
00:23 Maybe hands down like that guy never says a bad thing. He's always smiling
00:28 He's always joking with you. He's always open to just like have normal conversation. That guy is that guy's the best as
00:35 a player I
00:38 Think we spent most of the season talking about
00:40 issues and mistakes and how the Steelers probably need a center so I feel like it makes sense I
00:48 Mean, there's two sides of this
00:50 Do you think that Mason Cole would remain with the Pittsburgh Steelers to be a backup and do you think that the Steelers?
00:55 Maybe a dulac is kind of letting us some giving us some insight on
00:59 The Steelers are hunting for a center pretty high in free agency or the NFL draft
01:05 Yeah, I mean not without knowing what the center market
01:09 Excuse me looks like around the NFL right now. I
01:13 Don't think Mason Cole would get a starting I don't think he's likely to get a starting job anywhere else. So yeah, I I
01:22 Feel like he'd be he'd feel comfortable remaining with the Steelers kind of in any situation and being willing to say
01:28 Him the backup, but I know they like me and they want to keep me around
01:32 So why not why not stick with what's safe and what's comfortable? Yep
01:35 But yeah, I mean I I just thought it was funny the way this was phrased like the Steelers love Mason Cole
01:42 But when he's not on the field, you know
01:44 Yeah, so I mean, I think this does signal that they're looking for a center at some point in the draft
01:51 And I think the interesting thing is that there are
01:54 levels to it so like
01:57 Yeah, Jackson Powers Johnson from Oregon seems like a first-round guy
02:01 but like, you know, then there's Zach Frazier and
02:04 the
02:06 Georgia sorry. Yeah, Cedric is like Van Pratt or something. He is like sound of music type sound of music type name like it's
02:13 But like those are guys who are second or third round like you have options you have some flexibility
02:19 Like you if you miss out on Jackson Powers Johnson, like he's a stud
02:23 But I feel like you could feel comfortable using that that pick on
02:27 You know a tackle on an inside linebacker on a corner whatever you want really and then saying in the second round like, okay
02:33 Van Pratt's gonna be there Frazier's gonna be there like we have options there that we feel pretty confident in as well. So I
02:40 Think a center will get picked at some point in this draft where exactly?
02:45 Excuse me
02:47 Where exactly one gets picked?
02:49 I'm not sure
02:50 but I feel like the Steelers have flexibility and they can say
02:52 Like that that first pick that they have is a complete wild card in my eyes
02:56 Oh a hundred percent they could go in about five different directions based on who falls where yes, so
03:01 Could be a center could be an inside linebacker could be a corner like it's they have a ton of options
03:07 But I think a center is coming off the board
03:09 To the Pittsburgh Steelers at some point this offseason whether or not they keep Mason Cole or not. So
