About this episode
Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers' plans for the NFL Draft aren't quite clear yet, and that's just the way Omar Khan wants things. Christopher Carter explains how Khan's moves in free agency from the Michael Pittman Jr. trade to the signings of Jaquan Brisker and Jamel Dean have given the Steelers a smokescreen for their draft plans. But also, have the Steelers' early top 30 visit prospects added to that smokescreen? Chris gets into those prospects like quarterbacks Carson Beck and Cole Payton, as well as Denzel Boston, Keylan Rutledge, Chris Johnson and other prospects. Will the Steelers bring in more of the top receivers like Makai Lemon, Carnell Tate and Jordyn Tyson ? Or a top safety like Caleb Downs or Dillon Thieneman? Also, it's Mock Draft Monday, where Chris selects a fan's mock draft selections to discuss their picks and trades to see how they could benefit the Steelers.
