Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast and is joined by Derrick Bell of SteelersNow.com. The Pittsburgh Steelers' wide receivers DK Metcalf and George Pickens are both deep threats, but Christopher Carter and Derrick Bell think there's more to them as a pair. Could Metcalf and Pickens become the 'weapons of pass destruction' duo that makes the Steelers' passing game come alive even with mid-tier quarterback play like Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph? Also, Chris and Derrick go over the cornerback prospects of the NFL Draft and where Derrick has several of the top and middle prospects ranked. Could Azareye'h Thomas be the mid-round steal? Or should the Steelers go for a Will Johnson-type of cornerback in the first round? Finally, Chris and Derrick go over the day two and three quarterback prospects like Jaxson Dart, Jalen Milroe, Will Howard and Tyler Shough to find who the best options are for a later quarterback pick by the Steelers.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers could trade back in the first round of the NFL Draft, and Christopher Carter spells out who the best partners for such a trade back scenario might be.

And could Omar Khan recoup a day two pick in the draft after they lost their second round pick in the DK Metcalf trade? Also, Chris answers your call-in questions on several topics like Ashton Jeanty, Aaron Rodgers, Mason Rudolph, Steelers draft strategies, and more.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Nick Farabaugh of PennLive.com. The Pittsburgh Steelers look like they're going to sign Aaron Rodgers. Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh discuss whether Rodgers and Arthur Smith can be part of building an offense that can be suitable to help the Steelers' future 2026 NFL Draft quarterback. What kind of offense would be best for an Archie Manning, Nico Iamaleava or LaNorris Sellers? Also Chris and Nick discuss whether Calvin Austin can hold onto WR3 over Roman Wilson and how either would fit in an offense with Rodgers. And which of the new NFL rule changes make the most sense?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com. The Pittsburgh Steelers receiver DK Metcalf worked out with Aaron Rodgers Monday, which further shows a deal may be imminent between the team and the quarterback. Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders discuss the situation, and why it further shows that the team isn't pressed about the quarterback situation or desperate to sign Rodgers ASAP. Also, Chris and Alan review how both Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan addressed the Steelers' quarterback decisions this offseason and how the team let both Justin Fields and Russell Wilson walk in free agency. Also, Khan opened up about the Steelers' compensatory pick plan and why it continues to show the Steelers aren't interested in a first round quarterback in 2025 and more interested in a first round 2026 quarterback they can trade up for next year.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers' head coach Mike Tomlin spoke at NFL owners' meetings about the Steelers' receiver situation with DK Metcalf and George Pickens. Christopher Carter thinks there could be a longer term plan for the duo than just a 2025 campaign if Pickens plays his part well enough to earn the franchise tag or even a second future contract. Also, Chris answers your questions on the Locked on Steelers call-in line. One of those questions hints at the potential of a smokescreen of the Steeler's real quarterback plans for the NFL Draft that could protect the Steelers' true intentions in the draft. Chris weighs that, and whether the Steelers actually want a quarterback in the first round, as well as picks this week's Mock Draft Monday winner.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers' search for their starting quarterback continues during the Aaron Rodgers wait, but Christopher Carter wants to remind Steelers fans about what's most important. While others will raise wild speculations about the Steelers' quarterback plan, Chris points out the very obvious clues Mike Tomlin, Omar Khan and the Steelers' moves so far have laid out. And why those clues don't point to a big reach in the first round of the NFL Draft for Jalen Milroe. Also, Chris answers your questions on the call-in line, including if the Steelers will look at Shedeur Sanders if he falls in the first round, the usage of Broderick Jones, Cam Heyward's future and more.

In this week's NFL Squad, the crew discusses whether or not tight end or running back possesses the best overall positional value in the 2025 NFL Draft and what position groups teams should avoid.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Mike DeFabo of the Athletic. The Pittsburgh Steelers met with Emeka Egbuka before the Ohio State Pro Day. Christopher Carter and Mike DeFabo discuss whether the Steelers are still looking at receivers as first round targets in the NFL Draft, and which receivers might be prioritized. But does the addition of D.K. Metcalf with George Pickens push players like Egbuka, Matthew Golden and Luther Burden out of the Steelers' range? Also, Chris and Mike discuss the Steelers' interest in the 2025 NFL Draft class of running backs and what it means for the long term plans for Jaylen Warren. Could the veteran running back finally get his chance to be full-time RB1? Or are the Steelers drafting his replacement this year without giving him a real chance?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Nick Farabaugh of PennLive.com. The Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback saga continues as Russell Wilson signed with the New York Giants Tuesday. Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh discuss if that locks Aaron Rodgers into Pittsburgh. Will the Steelers just stick with the plan to sign Rodgers? Or will Rodgers choose retirement? Will the Steelers just roll with Mason Rudolph? Also, Chris and Nick discuss a recent development that gave inisight in how deep the Steelers' problems with Wilson ran, and if those problems will pass on to Rodgers in the coming relationship with offensive coordinator Arthur Smith. Finally, Chris and Nick discuss the Steelers' attention to Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers, and if that means the Steelers think he's their quarterback choice in the 2025 NFL Draft. Also, which other Texas stars will the Steelers take a close look at during their pro day? Chris and Nick talk about prospects like Jaydon Blue, Mattew Golden and Jahdae Barron.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com. The Pittsburgh Steelers may have D.K. Metcalf under contract, but Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders think that isn't an excuse to trade George Pickens away unless it's for a first or second round pick. The Steelers still need two playmakers at wide receiver, and if the return isn't better than a third round pick, the Steelers can most likely get that in return simply by letting Pickens hit free agency after this season in the form of a compensatory pick. Also, Chris and Alan discuss with the moves of adding Metcalf and Darius Slay; which position is a bigger priority in the NFL Draft? Cornerback or wide receiver? Finally, Chris and Alan discuss the updated Steelers salary cap and how much space is left to use to add to the current roster.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers hosted Aaron Rodgers on a visit last Friday, but without a deal being struck. Christopher Carter thinks this further shows the team's real plan for the future of QB with the team, and how the team isn't willing to go leaps and bounds to pay Rodgers what he really wants to be their starting quarterback in 2025. Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan look like their plan isn't about this year, but about getting through the 2025 season to make their big move in 2026. But even with that, Chris thinks this is a year when the Steelers do draft a quarterback, but do so to find a future backup with a later pick. While the 2025 NFL Draft quarterbacks isn't a strong class with future potential starters and franchise players, Chris does see a strong group of future backup quarterbacks in the draft class like Jalen Milroe and Will Howard who could fit the Steelers' needs. Also, it's Mock Draft Monday where Chris reviews your picks submitted to the show.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers have given several signs to suggest they're all-in on the 2026 NFL Draft being their big year to go after a franchise quarterback. But is that plan flawed? Christopher Carter explains the logic behind what Omar Khan's doing, and the realities of the challenges the Steelers face even if they like Arch Manning, Nico Iamaleava, LaNorris Sellers or any of the quarterbacks who might come out next year for the NFL. Also, Chris answers a lot of your call-in questions, including why Kenneth Grant could be a primary run stuffer like Casey Hampton, a pottential George Pickens trade, and more.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers had a private dinner with Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe before his pro day. Are they interested in picking him high in the NFL Draft? Or is he a fallback plan in the later rounds? Christopher Carter reminds everyone of when the Steelers were reportedly all-in on Malik Willis years ago, but didn't bother touching him, and also explains why this year might not be the year to draft a quarterback with a high pick. Also, Chris turns to the Locked on Steelers call-in line to answer your questions on Aaron Rodgers, NFL Draft day trades, Joe Milton, Trey Lance, and T.J. Watt's contract extension.

Who's the best fit for the Steelers to take a shot at quarterback for this draft?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers signed safety Juan Thornhill Monday. Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders discuss whether Thornhill's an upgrade over Damontae Kazee with how he can team up with DeShon Elliott and Minkah Fitzpatrick. Could this new secodnary with Darius Slay be an upgrade over last year? Also, the Steelers are reported to be taking a top 30 visit from Iowa State wide receiver Jayden Higgins. Is that a sign the Steelers are still looking at receivers early in the NFL Draft? What does that say about the future of George Pickens now that they have D.K. Metcalf? Finally, Chris and Alan discuss the Steelers' defensive line depth chart now that Isaiahh Loudermilk has returned to the team. Does the team still need to draft Kenneth Grant or Derrick Harmon in the first round?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers' GM Omar Khan is focused on the team's real plan at quarterback to find their franchise leader, but not in this year's crop of QBs. Christopher Carter wants to remind Steelers fans that's always been the plan, and why they shouldn't get distracted by the wait to see what Aaron Rodgers does, if Russell Wilson returns or what else might be the plan for this season. Khan's real plans involve the 2026 QB class, which could potentially involve Arch Manning, Nico Iamaleava, and other top prospects. Also, Chris discusses the Steelers' newest defensvie line addition in Daniel Ekuale and how he's a boost to the team's rotational defensvie line effort to stop the run. Finally, Chris picks this week's winner of Mock Draft Monday.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers had their newest additions to the team in D.K. Metcalf and Darius Slay spoke to Pittsburgh media for the first time Thursday, and Christopher Carter breaks down some of the biggest takeaways. Metcalf talked about his fit with the team, and Christopher sees the biggest aspect of his role as the leader for the receivers, including George Pickens. Also, Slay goes over his connection with Steelers' defensive coordinator Teryl Austin from his past with the Detroit Lions and how he helped him become a better cornerback. And now, he looks to use those teachings to help the Steelers win games while also being a mentor to help Joey Porter Jr. develop. Finally, Chris goes over the return for Mason Rudolph and why it's a good thing for the offense whether he ends up having to be QB1 or if he's a backup for Russell Wilson or Aaron Rodgers.
