How Steelers Beat AFC North QB Gap with Mitch Trubisky vs. Deshaun Watson, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson

Why Steelers Trade Back in 1st Round, Desmond Ridder vs Matt Corral vs Kenny Pickett vs Malik Willis: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast and is joined by Adam Crowley of 93.7 The Fan. The Pittsburgh Steelers have sent Mike Tomlin to about every quarterback's Pro Day, visiting Pitt for Kenny Pickett, Liberty for Malik Willis, Ole Miss for Matt Corral, and now Cincinnati for Desmond Ridder. But who do they really want? And should the Steelers trade back in the first round of the NFL Draft? Doing so would provide a better shot at second round graded quarterbacks like Ridder and Corral while still allowing the Steelers two good shots at addressing other skill positions like defensive tackle, cornerback, safety and wide receiver. And is Mitch Trubisky good enough to carry the Steelers offense for now? With Najee Harris and a fixed offensive line, yes.. But Kevin Colbert and Tomlin might not be done adding to the offensive line, as players like Zion Joh by Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers

Where James Daniels Fits on Steelers' O-Line / Levi Wallace to CB2 / Real Chance at Tyrann Mathieu?: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, is joined by Adam Bittner of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The Pittsburgh Steelers signed James Daniels to help fix their offensive line, but does he fit better at center or guard? Levi Wallace signing gives Mike Tomlin a good cornerback as a second option, but does that mean Ahkello Witherspoon is gone? Montravius Adams' return is at a good price. But there are rumors Tyrann Mathieu might be in the works for the Steelers to add at safety. Discussion on the salary cap, contract details and how Kevin Colbert continues to set up the Steelers with solid depth across the board without overspending. Does that mean Mathieu, Bobby Wagner or Myles Jack could be coming down the line? And does the NFL Draft plans for the Steelers now turn to Jordan Davis or Devonte Wyatt as a potential defensive line star in the first round?

Steelers' Plan Around Myles Jack, Devin Bush at Linebacker has Real Path Back to Elite Defense: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast with Josh Taylor of KDKA-TV as his guest. The Pittsburgh Steelers' signing of Myles Jack makes for an interesting pair of linebackers with him and Devin Bush. But how can they play off each others' strengths and weaknesses, and how can Mike Tomlin and Kevin Colbert mold the defense around them to make the unit elite again? A lot of their traits as linebackers shown on film explain how their skillsets match with each other to give Pittsburgh two real athletes at linebacker. But Bush has to get back to playing at a high level like he was before his injury. The chances of that happening are higher than fans think, and the Steelers getting back Stephon Tuitt would go a long way to helping both Jack and Bush produce at linebacker.

Part of that insight indicates Tyrann Mathieu might not be in the Steelers' free agent plans at all, and the real target might just be to bring back Terrell Edmunds, but there's still also a chance at the hard-hitting Cowboys safety Damontae Kazee. Also, Desmond Ridder continues to rise up the draft boards, but is he worth the Steelers taking him at 20th overall? And how hard should the Steelers go at wide receiver in this draft class?

The Pittsburgh Steelers made free agency moves, but no splashes, in the first day of the tampering period for the NFL offseason. They signed quarterback Mitch Trubisky and center/guard Mason Cole to reasonable contracts while re-signing offensive tackle Chukwuma Okorafor. But what do these moves mean? Are they still in play for other big-name additions? And what's the plan with the offensive line? Can they still be targeting Tyler Linderbaum and/or Zion Johnson? Or should the first round draft pick be a potential defensive star like Jordan Davis, Devin Lloyd, Andrew Booth Jr. or someone else?

Chances are with the Seahawks, Carolina Panthers, Washington Commanders and the New Orleans Saints will make it so the Steelers can't take Malik Willis or Kenny Pickett at the 20th overall pick in the first round.

Sure, first round draft picks like Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson and Drake London who would be great, but there are also plenty of receivers who could be selected on day 2 of the NFL Draft like Skyy Moore, Christian Watkins, Jahan Dotson and George Pickens who could be game changers as well.
