One Year Anniversary Of The Sam Darnold Trade As The Carolina Panthers Quarterback Search Continues: Tuesday marked the one-year anniversary of the team's decision to trade a second, fourth, and sixth-round pick for the then-New York Jets quarterback. A year later the team is looking to replace the quarterback they believed would be the franchise moving forward. Who is to be blamed for this hellacious decision? The Panthers are set to bring in Malik Willis (Liberty), Kenny Pickett (Pitt), Matt Corral (Ole Miss), Desmond Ridder (Cincinnati), Sam Howell (UNC), and Bailey Zappe (Western Kentucky) to Charlotte next week for the teams 30 pre-draft visits. Which of these prospects are the most desirable? ESPN's Todd McShay released his two-round Mock Draft 4.0, once again mocking Kenny Pickett to the Panthers. McShay views Pickett as the most NFL-ready of the prospects available. Julian explains why that reasoning is shortsighted given what's needed to win in the NFL today.

Pittsburgh Steelers Trade Up Debate: NFL Draft Chances at Malik Willis, Kyle Hamilton, Jordan Davis: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, is joined by Tony Serino of the AFC North Talk podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers may be in a position where they can't get the prospect they want in the NFL Draft without trading up. But how could they pull off a trade that would help them without mortgaging their future? Players like Malik Willis, Jordan Davis and Kyle Hamilton could be in range, and both Chris Carter and Tony Serino debate when and where the Steelers could trade up with an opposing team. Is quarterback too important of a position to pass up this NFL Draft class? Or can the Steelers wait with Mitch Trubisky until next year? Also, Tyrann Mathieu visited the New Orleans Saints Tuesday, but appeared to leave without a deal. Is he still in the hunt for the Steelers? Follow Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.

Kenny Pickett Shows Command, Hope, Leadership in Debut, But Steelers' Weaknesses Cause Loss to Jets: Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers lost to the New York Jets 24-20, but Kenny Pickett got his debut chance and scored two touchdowns in the process. He showed command of the field, leadership in his adjustments and gave hope to an offense that's been lifeless with Mitch Trubisky at quarterback. What he did right, and wrong, in his first game, and listen to his postgame comments that show just how well he understood the defenses he was reading. Also, why is the Steelers' defense still failing at the wrong moments? Minkah Fitzpatrick shed some light on the problems in the secondary, while Cam Heyward talked about the problems up front. Listen to both of their comments after the game about how the Steelers defense must improve, and Chris Carter's analysis on the situation.

New Steelers QB Coach Show Pittsburgh Locked On Malik Willis? How Miles Boykin Impacts WR Plans: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, is joined by Tony Serino of the AFC North Talk podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers added a new assistant quarterback coach in David Corley, which caused many to wonder if that means they're locked into selecting Malik Willis in the NFL Draft. But is that the plan? Options like Willis, Kenny Pickett, Matt Corral, Desmond Ridder and Sam Howell might be available, but there's no guarantee they're going to take one of them with the 20th pick in the first round. Also, the Steelers claimed Miles Boykin off waivers after the Baltimore Ravens cut him this week. But how does the new wide receiver addition impact the wide receiver room with Diontae Johnson, Chase Claypool and a number of wide receivers available in the NFL Draft.

Steelers' Slim Path To Upset On Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes, Is Big Ben, T.J Watt Owning Turnover Battle: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, is joined by Wesley Uhler of Steeler Nation Radio. The Pittsburgh Steelers' best hope to beat the Kansas City Chiefs relies on turnovers, which is how they've pulled out upsets all season long. T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward and Minkah Fitzpatrick have to turn up the fumbles and interceptions on Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill to engineer a defensive day, while Ben Roethlisberger just has to limit his mistakes. Meanwhile, the Steelers' run defense and run offense rank at the bottom of the league, but somehow Mike Tomlin's team is still a competitive team. What's led to that?

Should Steelers NFL Draft Plans Hinge More on Analytics or Tape for Players like CB Trent McDuffie?: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, is joined by Wes Uhler of Steeler Nation Radio. The Pittsburgh Steelers always have detailed analysis on their top picks, but looking more at analytics and combine numbers vs. gameplay on tape could push the team between a pick like cornerbacks Trent McDuffie or Andrew Booth Jr. Which is the right way? Looking at relative athletic scores from Kent Lee Plat (@MathBomb on Twitter) shows certain players may be better fits for the Steelers like McDuffie, Jordan Davis, Leo Chenal, Christian Watson, Lewis Cine and Boye Mafe. History also shows how grading on those metrics might've helped avoid bad picks like Jarvis Jones and Artie Burns, while also would've confirmed the Steelers made the right moves with players like T.J. Watt and Ryan Shazier. That, and the hard discussion about what the Steelers have to do next afte by Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers

Locked On Pistons - 7/25/18 - Why Can't Detroit Win Bids For Major Sporting Events?: As the NCAA bypassed Detroit last week in announcing future Final Four sites, the old doubts and inferiority complexes could have crept in. Instead of wallowing, let's see why Detroit keeps getting passed up for big sporting events after a mix of great events in the middle of last decade. What are the next ones that could come? We also talk to Jon Steinbrecher of the MAC about what the commissioner enjoys about their partnership with Detroit and what the future holds. Chris Manning of Locked On Cavaliers also lays out the Kevin Love extension for the Cavaliers, and Locked On Pistons host Matt Schoch talks about how it relates to the Blake Griffin deal and who is in better position to make the playoffs out of Detroit and Cleveland.

Will that hold off Kenny Pickett? Kevin Dotson says that James Daniels is looking like the Steelers' new leader on the offensive line. But what needs to be done for Mason Cole, Kendrick Green, Chukwuma Okorafor and Dan Moore Jr. to come together to make the offensive line that will let the young Steelers' offense take flight?

Steelers' Kenny Pickett Proven Ready to Ascend? | Why Najee Harris Still Starts Over Jaylen Warren: Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Nick Farabaugh of SteelersNow.com. The Pittsburgh Steelers have seen Kenny Pickett lead a touchdown drive every time he's been at quarterback in the 2023 preseason. But has that been enough to justify believing he's ready to ascend among the NFL's better quarterbacks? Chris Carter and Nick Farabaugh examine what he's improved on the all-22 film and how the Steelers have seen him grown in his ability to read the field and attack defenses. Also, it's time to explain why Najee Harris will still be the Steelers' starting running back over Jaylen Warren. Warren had a 62-yard touchdown and continues to show he can be an explosive backup running back option. But Harris still has the characteristics of a starter with his ability as a power runner who can make plays in the passing game and carry th by Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers
