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 Jenna Harner of WPXI-TV. The Pittsburgh Steelers paid Nick Herbig this week a big contract extension to ensure their pass rush stays top tier. But can it return to elite status this season? Christopher Carter and Jenna Harner explain why despite not adding any new pieces, staying healthy, better run defense and more consistent coverage could all lead to how T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, Herbig, Derrick Harmon and Cam Heyward make the Steelers one of the top sack producing defenses in the NFL. Also, Chris and Jenna discuss what Watt said about Patrick Graham's defense and how he could move around where he lines up this year. Could Watt finally move around the defense with his alignment and not stick to just the left side? Finally, Chris and Jenna discuss what Mike McCarthy said about Jalen Ramsey being this Steelers team's version of Charles Woodson.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers signed tight end Darnell Washington to a four-year contract extension worth $42M in new money. Christopher Carter thinks it's a smart move as they continue to solidify the foundation for the roster of the future with Nick Herbig's new contract and the expectation for the team to also re-sign Joey Porter Jr. Has Omar Khan's first draft class shown they're the key to the future success of the franchise? Watch as he shows what Mike McCarthy said about the draft class and why it's encouraging for the Steelers' future. Chris also gets into why the Steelers re-signed Darnell Washington and how he and Pat Freiermuth could realize new potential for the Steelers in McCarthy's offense. How will they find their balance in the offense with Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., Germie Bernard and Roman Wilson?

The Steelers Squad Show is back with another loaded episode! Tyler Feldman, Wayne Gandy, Christopher Carter, and Ben Bobick react to the blockbuster trade that sent Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns to the Los Angeles Rams. What does Garrett's departure mean for the Pittsburgh Steelers and the AFC North? Does it actually change the balance of power in the division, or were the Browns headed for the basement regardless?  Plus, mandatory minicamp is underway on the South Side. The crew breaks down the biggest storylines, including Nick Herbig's huge extension, standout observations, and what Steelers fans should be paying attention to as the team inches closer to training camp.  And as always, we wrap things up with our weekly Food for Thought segment as we count down the weeks until the start of the 2026 NFL season.  #Steelers #PittsburghSteelers #HereWeGo #NFL #MylesGarrett #AFCNorth #SteelersNation #LockedOnSteelers  Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

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 gave Nick Herbig a big $100M payday with his contrtact extension, but that doesn't mean they have to trade T.J. Watt or Alex Highsmith ... for now. Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh discuss the positives of the new deal and why Herbig had to be a priority for the Omar Khan to lock down for the future. But with Herbig, Watt and Highsmith all with big contracts, can the Steelers afford to pay them all at their big time rates? Or will a trade eventually be inevitable? Also, Chris and Nick discuss Joey Porter Jr. as the team's next big contract extension to consider. Can the Steelers afford to pay Porter what he's worth while paying other big time playmakers like Watt, Highsmith, Herbig, Jalen Ramsey, Cam Heyward, DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr.?

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 the new offensive-minded head coach in Mike McCarthy who'll emphasize a passing offense, but it doesn't mean they'll be any less physical than their traditional identity. Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders explain how the Steelers' high investments into the offensive and defensive lines are still the key parts of the team moving forward into this new era. Could Troy Fautanu, Derrick Harmon, and Zach Frazier lead the new era of the Steelers into the future? Also, Chris and Alan discuss the impact of the Cleveland Browns' trading away Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams. Do the Browns go into a fire sale where they also send away Denzel Ward? And what does that do to the Steelers' chances to win the AFC North for a second yearr in a row? Also, can Payton Wilson ascend to being a top playmaking inside linebacker for the Steelers' defense?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers' combination of high investments on the offensive line like Troy Fautanu, Zach Frazier, Max Iheanachor and Broderick Jones are a jackpot combination for offensive line coach James Campen. Christopher Carter explains why Campen's history of being an offensive line coach shows he can create chemistry with such a strong group of investments by Omar Khan and Andy Weidl in recent years. Also, Chris explains why Steelers coaches are impressed with rookie cornerback Daylen Everette this early in Steelers OTAs. Could he be the long term partner with Joey Porter Jr.? And, Chris takes your questions about the Steelers' rookie class as well as about which quarterback the Steelers might try to pass off to the practice squad.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers have remade their receiver room with DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., Germie Bernard and Roman Wilson in recent years. If Wilson and Bernard can take a step up in Mike McCarthy's offense, Christopher Carter thinks they could be the deepest Steelers receiver room since 2010. Chris shows you his talk with Roman Wilson at Steelers OTAs and the excitement he and the other receivers have to play in a west coast offense. Also, Chris talks with Jaquan Brisker about the Steelers' plan at safety. Brisker reveals he's not going to be the team's top free safety option, and how the Steelers' group of versatile safety options like DeShon Elliott and Jalen Ramsey plans to rotate and keep offenses guessing. But could the lack of the Steelers' having a true free safety be an issue? Also Patrick Queen talked about his contract sigtuation. Could he be part of a positive turn for the linebackers?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Noah Strackbein of All Steelers Talk. The Pittsburgh Steelers' secondary coach Joe Whitt Jr. described comparisons of how he and Mike McCarthy used Charles Woodson to how they plan to use Jalen Ramsey. But could that be the wrong plan for Ramsey? Christopher Carter and Noah Strackbein discuss why Ramsey's role as the big nickel won't be the same as how Woodson was used more than a decade ago, but that Ramsey's versatility could still be a weapon that fits well with the Steelers' defensive plan under Patrick Graham. But how will that work with the Steelers' depth chart at the safety position with Jaquan Brisker and DeShon Elliott? Chris and Noah discuss how the Steelers' safeties might be missing a true free safety option that can protect the back end against deep passes. Whitt and fellow defensive backs coach Jason Simmons explain how defensive backs will work together with their new roles and how everyone could be part of an improving group with Joey Porter Jr. and Jamel Dean at cornerback.

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 have invested in the future of their defensive line with Derrick Harmon and Keeanu Benton. But are they the defensive tackle duo of the Steelers' future? Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh discuss why Harmon and Benton have promise and the difficult decision with Benton's future and the payday he'll be due with a contract extension or hitting free agency. Could the Steelers have found the duo that will carry on the legacy of Cam Heyward? Or will Omar Khan need to turn back to the NFL Draft to address defensive tackle sooner rather than later? Also, Chris and Nick take your calls from the Locked on Steelers call-in line. Who will be the next Killer Bs of the Steelers? Are there a grouping of players worthy of a catchy nickname that becomes the staple of the team? And what are the most exciting parts of Drew Allar's game that fans could see still show up in the NFL even while he develops?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Aalan Saunders. The Pittsburgh Steelers' new head coach Mike McCarthy is completely flipping the offensive tendencies of the organization upside down with the west coast offense. Can that change have a similar historical impact to what Dick LeBeau did for the Steelers' defense? Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders discuss how McCarthy's revamp could create new trends with Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr. and Germie Bernard that set long term principles to aid a future franchise quarterback. Also, Chris and Alan discuss what offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio said about Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington in the new offense's plan. Could the Steelers tight ends be underrated in how they can open up the offense? And has the tone around Rodgers missed the entire point of the Steelers' overall quarterback plan?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers have four quarterbacks on their roster and big decisions ahead. Christopher Carter thinks a trade that sends away one of their quarterbacks is inevitable as they forge their plans to find their future franchise quarterback. While that won't involve Drew Allar, could that involve Will Howard or Mason Rudolph? Chris takes questions on the Steelers' quarterback room and how they handle the post-Aaron Rodgers plan. Is there any way Allar or Howard could play well enough that would stop Omar Khan from targeting a first round quarterback in the 2027 NFL Draft like Arch Manning, Julian Sayin, Dante Moore or CJ Carr? Also, Chris takes more questions from Locked on Steelers listeners like whether Jaylen Warren will be the team's true feature running back instead of splitting more reps with Rico Dowdle, when it might be time to trade TJ Watt, and a move the Steelers could've made and still acquired Max Iheanachor in the NFL Draft.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Jenna Harner of WPXI-TV. The Pittsburgh Steelers continue the early stages of learning Mike McCarthy's offense, and rookie wide receiver Germie Bernard is right on schedule. Christopher Carter and Jenna Harner discuss what McCarthy said about how Bernard is 'crushing it' while learning all the receiver roles in his west coast offense. Could Bernard with DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr. and Roman Wilson be the receiver group Aaron Rodgers needs for the passing attack to be deadly? Also, Will Howard has been taking second team reps during Steelers OTAs. But does that make him the second team quarterback on the depth chart ahead of Mason Rudolph and Drew Allar? And what did Rodgers say about mentoring both Howard and Allar as young quarterbacks that signals what the Steelers should expect? Finally, Kaleb Johnson didn't have a good rookie season, but he's primed as the team's RB3 option behind Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle. Will he get a chance to prove he's a future starter this year?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers indicated 2026 would be his final NFL season. But he also noted his excitement to work in Mike McCarthy's west coast offense with the Steelers' improved wide receiver group. Tune in to see what Rodgers said about the Steelers' new offense and Christopher Carter's reaction as to why it should mean a much better season for the offense, including DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., Germie Bernard and even Roman Wilson as significant assets for Rodgers. Also, Broderick Jones spoke to media for the first time since his season-ending injury last year. Chris reacts to what Jones said about his timetable to return, as well as how he could still fit into the Steelers' offensive line. But can the line find chemistry with Troy Fautanu, Max Iheanachor, Gennings Dunker, Zach Frazier and Mason McCormick. How strong can the group grow together with new offensive line coach James Campen?

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' defensive coordinator Patrick Graham spoke Tuesday about his plans to revive the Steelers' defense in 2026. Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh break down what Graham said about his plans to emphasize nickel defensive packages, keep the 3-4 defensive shell, and improve communication. Could Graham figure out the parts of the Steelers' defense that led to breakdowns in communication? And who can be the primary defensive backs that make their nickel package dangerous between Joey Porter Jr., Jamel Dean, Jalen Ramsey, DeShon Elliot and Jaquan Brisker? Also, Chris and Nick discuss offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio's comments about how the team plans to train the Steelers' offensive linemen to play all the positions across the line. But is that the right approach for Troy Fautanu, Mason McCormick, Broderick Jones, Gennings Dunker and Max Iheanachor?

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 saw Aaron Rodgers arrive, sign his new contract and get right to the practice field Monday at OTAs. Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders explain why this could be a great sign for Mike McCarthy's offense to hit the ground running with the new pieces added like Michael Pittman Jr. and Germie Bernard. How good can the Steelers' offense truly be if Rodgers fully buys in as the leader of the unit and helps the young players lock in for a strong start to the season? Also, Chris and Alan discuss how Troy Fautanu took his first reps of OTAs at left tackle next to Mason McCormick at left guard -- both being position flips for the Steelers offensive linemen. Could this be a significant boost for the Steelers' offensive linemen? And what does this mean for Broderick Jones, Dylan Cook and Max Iheanachor? And Michael Pittman Jr. talks about how the Steelers' receivers are ready to thrive in McCarthy's offense as he gets used to working with Germie Bernard and DK Metcalf. Could the Steelers' passing attack be ready to show a level of versatility it hasn't seen for several years?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers have reportedly agreed to a one-year contract with Aaron Rodgers. But Christopher Carter thinks one overlooked advantage to Rodgers' arrival could be how he helps Drew Allar and Will Howard in their development under Mike McCarthy. Can Rodgers speed up the process for the two young quarterbacks with how they prepare both in their on-field technique and with how they process week-to-week gameplans? Also, Chris talks about the beginning of OTAs and the questions facing the Steelers across the roster. Who will be the Steelers' offensive line with Max Iheanachor as the team's first round pick, Broderick Jones recovering from injury and Troy Fautanu's strong 2025 season. How will the Steelers' receivers line up between DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr. and Germie Bernard? Will the Steelers keep Keeanu Benton at nose tackle?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers' schedule revealed another late season gauntlet with several playoff teams and the Steelers' toughest divisional matchups. Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette argues that's a reason the Steelers MUST stack early wins in their schedule to make the playoffs. What are the best matchups for the Steelers in the early part of the season that give them a chacne to build an early lead? And which teams could be the toughest challenges? Also, Chris notes three wild schedule patterns for the Steelers, some that are disadvantages. The Steelers playing for a third time in a row against the Eagles in Philadelphia is a bad sign and a difficult streak to beat as the Steelers haven't won in Philadelphia since 1965. The Steelers also didn't get any favors with another road Thursday night game against an AFC North opponent, and their home game against the Browns comes the week after playing in Paris, France against the Saints. Could this be a disadvantage to the Steelers that ends a streak of home dominance against the Browns that goes back more than 20 years?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers' biggest coaching difference that could help them return to being a Super Bowl contender is rooted in Mike McCarthy's ability to develop quarterbacks. Christopher Carter explains why his development approach is bigger than just being about Aaron Rodgers, Drew Allar, or Will Howard. How could McCarthy's approach also help the potential first round picks the Steelers may target in next year's NFL Draft like Arch Manning, LaNorris Sellers, CJ Carr or Jayden Maiava. Steelers offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio also talks about how the Steelers' plans to change the offense and form it around the quarterback could improve the team. Also, Chris answers more of your questions on the Locked on Steelers call-in line, including questions about Howard and Allar and whether the Steelers would be better off if they were the starters for the offense. Could Chris Boswell's contract extension have been about freeing up more money for Rodgers? And what are the chances Kaleb Johnson will get a proper second chance at running back?

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 made several changes to their offense with a trade for Michael Pittman and drafting Germie Bernard. But with Mike McCarthy calling the plays can the be a top 10 offense? Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh debate if the changes have been enough to make them dangerous with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback? Or are there too many rookies and young players in the offense to expect them to thrive so quickly? Also, Chris and Nick discuss how footage of Drew Allar's footwork drills from Steelers rookie camp shook the internet with overreactions galore. But what actually can be revealed from how McCarthy worked so closely with Allar on technique? And is Chris Boswell's new contract too much money for a kicker? Finally, what can be expected from Kaden Wetjen's contributions both to the receiver group and on special teams?

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 showed where they'd prefer Max Iheanachor and Gennings Dunker to play on their offensive line during rookie camp. That might cause a shuffled on the offensive line, but it should still work for the offensive line Omar Khan, Andy Weidl and Mike McCarthy are putting together. Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders dig into how Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu may have to switch positions more, but that won't be an obstacle that stops the Steelers from finding their offensive line of the future with new position coach James Campen. Also, Chris and Alan discuss how McCarthy's offense plans to deploy more 11-personnel packages that favor their receivers DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr. and Germie Bernard. But is that the right plan for an offense that's invested more into its offensive line than any other position in the NFL Draft over the past four years? And could that mean a pass-heavy offense is the plan even with the expected return of a 42-year old Aaron Rodgers?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers placed an early emphasis on Drew Allar's development during rookie camp, and Christopher Carter thinks Mike McCarthy's approach is the right plan. Allar's fundamentals were always a question at Penn State, and McCarthy focused on the basics for Allar's first practices with the Steelers. Listen to McCarthy explain what they worked on to Chris, and why he's excited to apply his quarterback process to Allar. Could the Steelers have the right plan to build the foundation for Allar in hopes of finding their franchise quarterback? Chris also discusses what he learned about Germie Bernard's versatility in training camp, with McCarthy explaining why the Steelers are impressed with their rookie wide receiver, and Bernard noting how he's already focused on learning the entire playbook instead of just one position to line up. And while Aaron Rodgers did arrive in Pittsburgh, he didn't sign a deal with Omar Khan. Should the Steelers worry about the future hall of fame quarterback not returning for 2026?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Jenna Harner of WPXI-TV. The Pittsburgh Steelers finally will get Aaron Rodgers to arrive at their facility and sign his new deal, locking him in for the 2026 season. Christopher Carter and Jenna Harner explain why that's a good thing for the Steelers in their development plan. While Rodgers doesn't make the team a Super Bowl contender and won't be around for a long time, his leadership can help young players develop like Will Howard, Drew Allar, Troy Fautanu and Germie Bernard. Could that be a setback for the Steelers' future draft plans if they have a positive season but don't win a Super Bowl? Chris and Jenna also discuss what the biggest talking points are for Steelers rookie camp this weekend. Where will rookie offensive linemen Max Iheanachor and Gennings Dunner line up in their initial practices? And will Germie Bernard be made to line up both in the slot and at outside receiver positions? And how much pressure is on Allar to thrive quickly considering the Steelers may take a first round pick quarterback in next year's NFL Draft?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers have two project quarterbacks in Drew Allar and Will Howard, but they shouldn't feel rushed to start them. Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette argues why the Steelers should wait and let both their young quarterbacks in Allar and Howard develop and adjust for a year so they don't ruin them by throwing them into the fire. Whether Aaron Rodgers shows up or not, the Steelers could use a more developed version of both quarterbacks to battle as potential starters in 2027 against even a first round pick quarterback. Chris also takes your questions on the Locked on Steelers call-in line. Did Omar Khan strategize to get better value with Max Iheanachor and Germie Bernard than picking KC Concepcion or Omar Cooper and resorting to a later round offensive tackle? Could Steelers fans be unfair towards Iheanachor because of how the situation played out with Makai Lemon? And which college quarterbacks does Christopher Carter have his eye on next season for a chance at becoming a much stronger NFL Draft quarterback class?

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 have some tough contract decisions to make soon, but Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh think Nick Herbig must get a contract extension. Could Herbig be signed while the team is still paying T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith to be top tier edge rushers? And how can defensive coordinator Patrick Graham use the Steleers' pass rushers differently than previous years? Could the plan be more sophisticated with more sub package football that benefits Derrick Harmon, Cam Heyward and Keeanu Benton to contribute to the pass rush? Also, Chris and Nick answer questions on how the Steelers' previous draft misses relate to the current draft class with Max Iheanachor, Germie Bernard, Drew Allar and Gennings Dunker. Has Omar Khan put the Steelers on a path to fix the draft mistakes of Kevin Colbert?

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 didn't invest much in their run defense in the NFL Draft, but Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and Alan Saunders explain why they could still rebound in 2026. Derrick Harmon, Keeanu Benton, Cam Heyward and the addition of Sebastian Joseph-Day make for a more complete defensive line if they can keep the unit healthy for most of the season. But does Omar Khan need to find a better nose tackle for the future? And how can they work better with Patrick Queen, T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith and Nick Herbig to better prepare for running quarterbacks like Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen? Also, Chris and Alan discuss whether the Steelers are losing their patience with Aaron Rodgers after a recent report suggests they have a new deadline for a decision. But would the Steelers truly pass on the future hall of fame quarterback to have Mason Rudolph, Drew Allar or Will Howard as a starting quarterback? And a caller chimes in from the Locked on Steelers call-in line about a recent take Alan gave about whether quarterbacks make receivers or receivers make quarterbacks.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers have two project quarterbacks on their roster in Drewe Allar and Will Howard, but that shouldn't stop them from making big picks at the position in the near future. Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette answers a fan's question as to whether the Steelers should focus on developing Allar and Howard for a few years and forget about drafting a top tier quarterback prospect in the coming seasons. Chris also answers more questions about how Mike McCarthy, Tom Arth and Frank Cignetti Jr. as a trio of quarterback whisperers, Daylen Everette as a cornerback prospect, Kaden Wetjen as a receiver, and whether the Steelers are committed to a plan to draft for character over talent.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Josh Taylor of KDKA-TV. The Pittsburgh Steelers continued to invest in the offensive line in the NFL Draft with Max Iheanachor and Gennings Dunker. Have they finally set themselves up to have a truly versatile and talented offensive line with a high ceiling for the future? Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and Josh Taylor talk about the Steelers' development of the "Evil Trench Gang" with a physical, deep and bullying offensive line. Christopher and Josh also take your calls on the Locked on Steelers call-in line with more questions about the offensive line. What's the future of Broderick Jones on the team? Should Troy Fautanu move to guard? Or left tackle? Will Iheanachor go to right tackle or switch to left tackle?  CALL INTO THE SHOW AT 412-223-6644 or if international, e-mail your audio message to [email protected] Follow Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers are being steered by their general manager Omar Khan now that Mike Tomlin is gone. Khan's been at the center of some good decisions in their roster rebuild, but Christopher Carter sees mistakes he must learn from this year's NFL Draft. But was it the mistakes to not trade up for Makai Lemon and settle for Max Iheanachor, or the reach for Drew Allar at quarterback in the third round? Christopher also takes your questions on the Steelers through the Locked on Steelers call-in line. Were the Steelers too patient to go for a wide receiver when they wound up with Germie Bernard? And did the Steelers draft too many specialists this year like Kaden Wetjen, Eli Heidenreich and Robert Spears-Jennings when they already have players like Max Hurleman and Sebastian Castro on the roster?

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 placed a UFA tender on Aaron Rodgers, which spells trouble for Omar Khan and Mike McCarthy in their negotiations. Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh explain what the process is for the Steelers in their continued wait for Rodgers to show up and sign a deal with the team. But could Khan's move have just angered Rodgers and forced a problem? Or is the deal just a necessary insurance plan to protect the team if Rodgers decides to join a different roster? Also, Chris and Nick discuss the rationale behind McCarthy's commitment to develop Drew Allar despite the several weaknesses he shows on tape. Could the Steelers have wasted a pick on Allar when it's clear they plan to spend a high pick on a quarterback in a future draft? Or is this a good long term plan for Allar and Will Howard? Finally, Chris and Nick discuss how Germie Berrnard, DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. could make the offense more quarterback friendly than it has been in several years.

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 drafted Penn State quarterback Drew Allar while already having Will Howard on the roster. Could Omar Khan and Mike McCarthy prefer Allar's traits in the coming quarterback battle? Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders discuss how Allar and Howard compare as quarterbacks and how the Steelers can try to develop both. Has McCarthy assembled a coaching staff under McCarthy that's ready to bring up two young quarterbacks at the same time? And is Allar more likely to be a career backup quarterback or does he have the skills to riser to a starter role? Chris and Alan discuss what might happen with Allar even if Aaron Rodgers shows up to start at quarterback. And why do they think Omar Khan might've had the worst draft process of his four years being the Steelers GM?  CALL INTO THE SHOW AT 412-223-6644 or if international, e-mail your audio message to [email protected] Follow Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers' NFL Draft hit on several positions, but which of their picks were steals and which were reaches? Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette gives his analysis of the picks with a focus on their five picks in the top 100. From Max Iheanachor, to Germie Bernard, Drew Allar, Daylen Everette and Gennings Dunker, which picks were of the best value? And which picks passed up on key picks from other positions? Did Omar Khan's picking Iheanachor overlook much higher ranked first round prospects like Dillon Thieneman, Omar Cooper Jr. and K.C. Concepcion? Was Bernard the best fit for the second round? Could the Steelers have done better to pick Domonique Orange, A.J. Haulcy or Emmanuel Pregnon instead of Allar? Chris reviews all the options in this draft to determine where the Steelers could've better hit their needs, or if they came away with the right values in the end.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers completed their day three picks, but gave off mixed signals of what their pre-draft plan was with their preferred targets. Christopher Carter gives his reaction to the Steelers picks of Kaden Wetjen, Riley Nowakowski, Gabriel Rubio, Robert Spears-Jennings and Eli Heidenreich. But did the Steelers' pre-draft plans show mixed signals with how they targeted different positions? Wetjen was a kick returner, but one taken much earlier than expected while the Steelers got defensive tackle and safety much later than expected like Rubio and Spears-Jennings.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers had an active day two of the NFL Draft when they selected Germie Bernard, Drew Allar, Daylen Everette and Gennings Dunker. But were these the right moves for the Steelers? Christopher Carter gives his reactions to the picks, including how he sees Bernard fitting in with DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. in the passing attack. Could Bernard be the route running presence this offense needs? Also, Chris gives his thoughts on the decision to draft Drew Allar early in the third round. Was this a reach by the Steelers for a backup quarterback prospect who will most likely compete with Will Howard? Or does Allar bring traits to the Steelers' quarterback room tat are undeniable? And do Everette and Dunker fit what the Steelers need in the secondary and the offensive line?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Arizona State offensive tackle Max Iheanachor with their first round pick of the NFL Draft. But that only happened after the Philadelphia Eagles caught them woefully unprepared with their trade up to get USC receiver Makai Lemon. Christopher Carter gives his reaction to how poorly Omar Khan played the situation, where he thought the Steelers were getting their top target and instead got played by the Dallas Cowboys and the Eagles. How could the Steelers have better handled their first round? And could this be a huge mistake? Chris also breaks down the upside of drafting Iheanachor, an athletic offensive tackle who could have a bright future in the NFL. But where will he fit on the Steelers' offensive line? Will he replace Broderick Jones at left tackle even though Iheanachor was exclusively a right tackle? Will he be the final piece to complete the Steelers' offensive line of the future? And who are the top players left for the Steelers to target in the second and third rounds?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Jenna Harner of WPXI-TV. The Pittsburgh Steelers are ready for the NFL Draft and have made siginificant efforts to find their elite receiver of the future. Christopher Carter and Jenna Harner discuss the different ways the Steelers could lock in for a top wide receiver in the first round. Could Omar Khan and Andy Weidl see the plan as wide receiver or bust? Options like Carnell Tate, Jordyn Tyson, Makai Lemon, Omar Cooper Jr., Denzel Boston and K.C. Concepecion are all on the table for the Steelers to find their playmaker to pair with DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. Also, Chris and Jenna explore where the best options for trades could be in the draft. Should the Steelers trade up in the first round? Or save for multiple trade-ups on the second day of the draft to maximize their second and third round value picks? Finally, Chris and Jenna reveal their dueling first round mock drafts to show the different ways they could see the first round play out. Who do they have the the Steelers taking?

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 can make a big trade for an elite prospect or hold onto their picks for premium options, but they can't do both. Which is the best move? Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh weigh on the decision that faces Omar Khan and Andy Weidl. Should the team go all-in for top prospects like Caleb Downs or Makai Lemon? Or should they hold onto their picks and stack premium prospects like Omar Cooper Jr. and Treydan Stukes? Also could defensive back be the position with sneaky day two value? Players like Keionte Scott, A.J. Haulcy, D'Angelo Ponds and Stukes could make the position too good to pass up in the second and third rounds. Could that be better value than second round receivers like Germie Bernard and Zachariah Branch? And how long can the Steelers afford to wait to draft a guard like Keylan Rutledge or Chase Bisontis.

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 need a top receiver in the NFL Draft, but can they afford to wait to see if Omar Cooper Jr. or K.C. Concepcion fall to them? Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders go over Chris' full first round mock draft, and look at where the Steelers could decide to trade up to make sure they get their preferred first round pick? Do the Steelers need to trade up to get ahead of the Ravens? How expensive would a trade be to get Makai Lemon, Jordyn Tyson, Olaivavega Ioane, or Caleb Downs? Also, Chris and Alan discuss the recent comments from Mike McCarthy and Omar Khan on their draft plans. Will the Steelers actually look to use all 12 draft picks? And did Broderick Jones actually suffer a setback in his recovery? Could offensive tackle be a bigger concern in the Steelers' draft plans? And defensive coordinator made comments on the Steelers' plans to keep their 3-4 defense. But is that the right move?

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 made it clear their top pre-draft research was into wide receivers and offensive linemen. But could their plan for an early pick be a secret plan to get a playmaker defensive back? Christopher Carter and Mike DeFabo discuss what defensive coordinator Patrick Graham said about Jalen Ramsey last week, and why that might be a clue to the type of defensive back the Steelers really want. But could it be a top safety like Caleb Downs, Dillon Thieneman, or Emmanuel McNeil-Warren? Or a top cornerback like Colton Hood, Jermod McCoy or Keionte Scott? Also, Chris and Mike discuss the recent trade where the New York Giants sent defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals for the tenth overall pick in the NFL Draft. Did the move make the Bengals a more dangerous team in the AFC North? And why could that move hurt the Steelers' chances to draft a top receiver like Carnell Tate, Jordyn Tyson or Makai Lemon?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers are steadily in the trade-up market for the NFL Draft. But how aggressive will Omar Khan be to get a blue chip player? Christopher Carter goes over the different options for the Steelers to make a big move in the first round, whether it be for Ohio State safety Caleb Downs, USC receiver Makai Lemon, Penn State guard Olaivavega Ioane, or Arizona State receiver Jordyn Tyson. But how much will such a move cost the Steelers? And would it be worth it? Would the Steelers be able to trade up with the Dolphins at the 11th overall pick or the Chiefs at the 9th overall pick? Chris takes your questions on the Locked on Steelers call-in line, including the potential for using T.J. Watt as trade bait for future 2027 draft picks to help find a franchise quarterback, and whether the Steelers can form a trio of dangerous receivers with this draft class that's worthy of the nickname, Weapons of Pass Destruction.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers completed their full list of pre-draft visitors this week, so Christopher Carter ranks the best of them. Who are his top 10 pre-draft visitor prospects the Steelers looked closely at? Makai Lemon, Olaivavega Ioane and Spencer Fano are among the top prospects, but did Omar Khan, Mike McCarthy and Andy Weidl tip their hand as far as their first round targets? Or were these moves part of a ruse to disguise their true intentions? Also, Chris answers questions on the Locked on Steelers call-in line from fans of the show. What's the true purpose behind the Steelers' usage of the pre-draft visitor process? Could Ioane and KC Concepcion be the plan for the first two rounds? And why are there so many bad quarterback classes? Could there be new trends that are making it harder to find franchise quarterbacks?

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' new head coach Mike McCarthy has a history of heavy 11 personnel usage that includes three receivers. Does that mean the Steelers will prioritize a high draft pick at receiver to pair with DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr.? From Makai Lemon to Jordyn Tyson, Omar Cooper Jr. and K.C. Concepcion, which of the top receivers best fits their needs and which are most likely to be the next Steelers receiver superstar? Christoher Carter and Nick Farabaugh dive into those questions, as well as a discusion on the Penn State guard Olaivavega Ioane being a pre-draft visit. Could he be the first round pick that completes the offensive line? Chris and Nick discuss them along with other recent draft visitors like Beau Stephens. Finally, could this year's draft class be the group that puts the Steelers back into a Super Bowl window? Chris and Nick answer your questions on the Locked on Steelers call-in line.
