About this episode
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 safety, and this NFL Draft class looks strong with star talent like Caleb Downs, and potential high value targets like Dillon Thieneman, AJ Haulcy and Emmanuel McNeil-Warren. Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders discuss when would be the best time for Omar Khan and Andy Weidl to address the safety position, as the class has depth. But would a deep centerfielding safety be the best option to pair with DeShon Elliott and Jalen Ramsey? Or a box safety that specializes in the slot? Or an all-around talent? Also, Chris and Alan discuss the Steelers' early questions a little more than a week away from free agency like Kenneth Gainwell and Isaac Seumalo. And why did Omar Khan get a bad grade on the Steelers' NFLPA report card?
