The Pittsburgh Steelers may be in a position where they can't get the prospect they want in the NFL Draft without trading up.

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?

Should Pittsburgh Steelers Target Wide Receivers Like Jordan Addison in NFL Draft's First Round?: Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Wes Uhler of Steeler Nation Radio. The Pittsburgh Steelers have tough decisions about which position groups they should target in the 2023 NFL Draft. Some think that finding a wide receiver for Kenny Pickett should be a priority, and Jordan Addison would be the perfect fit. Pickett and Addison both played together for Pitt, but should that be the priority over other key positions like offensive tackle, guard, defensive line, linebacker and cornerback? Or have the Steelers spent enough high draft picks on offensive skill players? Also, a report from Mark Kaboly about Mike Tomlin indicates the Steelers may have not made their decision on Matt Canada at offensive coordinator yet. When could that decision come?

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.

Browns' Baker Mayfield Trade Fallout, AFC North Standing of Steelers' Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Wes Uhler of Steelers Nation Radio. The Cleveland Browns' trade of Baker Mayfield to the Carolina Panthers removed a major player in the Browns' rivalry with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Did the Browns end up being abused by the trade by only receiving a fifth round pick for a former first overall pick? Or did the Browns make a good move that was forced upon them by Mayfield's not wanting to play for them? Looking at how Deshaun Watson's situation impacts the Browns forces the question about where Kenny Pickett and Mitch Trubisky fall in the AFC North. If Watson doesn't play this season due to suspension and Jacoby Brissett starts in his place, does that help level the playing field for the Steelers in the division?

Pittsburgh Steelers' Cam Heyward Feels Dissed By Lower Rankings, Ready to Spark Defense's Return: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Jenna Harner of WPXI-TV. Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Cam Heyward has made it clear lately on his new podcast Not Just Football that he's not happy with ESPN's ranking that placed him as the NFL's No. 5 defensive tackle. There's been a lot of outlets who've ranked Heyward lower than he believes he should be in the NFL after being First Team All-Pro with 10 sacks in 2021. That fires up Heyward, and in turn, the rest of the Steelers defense. Heyward also discussed how the Steelers' quarterbacks Kenny Pickett and Mitch Trubisky will need to be ready to face real pressure from the Steelers' defense in training camp practice. If Heyward, T.J.

How Steelers' Increase in Depth of Targets to Pat Freiermuth, Diontae Johnson, Unlocks New Offense: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers have been known as a dink and dunk offense for the past few seasons with Ben Roethlisberger. Mike Tomlin and Matt Canada better have plans to change that with Mitch Trubisky and/or Kenny Pickett. Doing so would mean deeper passes to Pat Freiermuth, Diontae Johnson, Chase Claypool and George Pickens. A boost in the team's average depth per target could go a long way to fixing the offense and even helping Najee Harris run the ball. Also, a caller asks which wide receiver from the 2019 NFL Draft with a new 2021 quarterback will the best season: Diontae Johnson, D.K. Metcalf, A.J. Brown, Deebo Samuel or Terry McLaurin.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a left guard battle on their hands between Kevin Dotson and Kendrick Green. Both are young players who bring different strengths and struggle with different weaknesses. But Dotson has a clear edge in his size, frame and the positive games he's put together. If Green wants to overtake Dotson, he'll have to maximize his speed and explosiveness as a pulling guard and minimize his size disadvantage in close quarters against the bigger defensive linemen in the NFL. Also, a caller asks Chris Carter about the Steelers' special teams, leading to analysis and statistics on the unit during the tenure of special teams coach Danny Smith.

Steelers Trade Up Rumor w/Vikings for 12th Pick: Kyle Hamilton, Derek Stingley Jr, or Another Star?: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, is joined by Jenna Harner of WPXI-TV. A rumor suggests the Pittsburgh Steelers could have a draft day deal in place with the Minnesota Vikings to move up to the 12th overall pick of the NFL Draft. But how much would it cost? And who could they target with it? According to Chris and Locked on Vikings host Luke Braun, it would only cost this year's first round pick, a 2022 3rd round, and a 2023 3rd round. If that happens, Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton, LSU cornerback Derek Stingley Jr., Mississippi State offensive tackle Charles Cross and Georgia defensive tackle Jordan Davis could all be in play for Kevin Colbert and Mike Tomlin to add a star player to the roster that previously was thought to be out of reach.

He's rumored to want $22 million/year, but such a contract wouldn't be as costly as some might think with the rapidly rising NFL salary cap, and might actually be a reasonable price for a team's top receiver.
