LOCKED ON COLTS 3/25/19: Stampede Blue's Zach Hicks on best prospect fits for the Colts in 2019 Draft

Should Steelers Focus More on Offense or Defense in NFL Draft? / Trade Up For Safety Kyle Hamilton?: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, is joined by Jenna Harner of WPXI-TV. The Pittsburgh Steelers could go in many directions with the NFL Draft. But should they focus more on offense or defense with their first and second round picks? Mike Tomlin and Kevin Colbert have done their due diligence looking at quarterbacks like Kenny Pickett, Malik Willis, Matt Corral, Desmond Ridder and Sam Howell, and have checked in on wide receivers like Chris Olave, Jameson Williams, Garrett Wilson, Treylon Burks, Skyy Moore and George Pickens. But there's also defensive stars like Kyle Hamilton, Jordan Davis, Derek Stingley Jr., Devin Lloyd, Daxton Hill and Andrew Booth Jr. But what's the better path? Also, is Terrell Edmunds still a realistic safety option? And what do the Steelers need to see from Matt Canada's offense?

Mike Tomlin/Kevin Colbert's Final NFL Draft Outlook / Building Pittsburgh Steelers' Top 25 Big Board: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, is joined by Wes Uhler of Steeler Nation Radio and 'Eers and Beers podcast. Mike Tomlin and Kevin Colbert spoke at Heinz Field Monday for their last public words about the NFL Draft and their outlook on how the Pittsburgh Steelers will make their picks and any potential trades. The Steelers won't tip their hand right before the NFL Draft and that's how they'll keep their 20th overall pick behind a smokescreen from other teams. But who are the players they'll pick?

Why Steelers Trade Back in 1st Round, Desmond Ridder vs Matt Corral vs Kenny Pickett vs Malik Willis: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast and is joined by Adam Crowley of 93.7 The Fan. The Pittsburgh Steelers have sent Mike Tomlin to about every quarterback's Pro Day, visiting Pitt for Kenny Pickett, Liberty for Malik Willis, Ole Miss for Matt Corral, and now Cincinnati for Desmond Ridder. But who do they really want? And should the Steelers trade back in the first round of the NFL Draft? Doing so would provide a better shot at second round graded quarterbacks like Ridder and Corral while still allowing the Steelers two good shots at addressing other skill positions like defensive tackle, cornerback, safety and wide receiver. And is Mitch Trubisky good enough to carry the Steelers offense for now? With Najee Harris and a fixed offensive line, yes.. But Kevin Colbert and Tomlin might not be done adding to the offensive line, as players like Zion Joh by Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers

NFL Combine: Will Steelers Commit to First Round QBs Kenny Pickett, Malik Willis or Matt Corral?: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, is joined by Wes Uhler of Steeler Nation Radio. The NFL Scouting Combine is underway and several of the top quarterback prospects are talking about their interviews with the Pittsburgh Steelers in a positive light. But does any of this guarantee the Steelers take one of these quarterbacks? Kenny Pickett, Malik Willis and Matt Corral each talked about their interactions with Mike Tomlin and Kevin Colbert from interviews to informal conversations and how positive they feel about the Steelers organization. While on radio row, Wes talks about which quarterback seems to be shining the brightest during interviews. The Steelers' continued presence in talking to quarterbacks during the combine is to be expected, but the team cannot afford to overdraft a quarterback when several positions of need could have top players fall to the Steelers' 20th overall pick in by Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers

Steelers Draft Day Scenarios: Trading Back w/Teams Like Chiefs/Packers to Double-Up on Top 40 Picks: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers have positioned themselves to have several paths on Draft Day, and one could be to trade back. But they should only do so to maximize getting multiple top 40 or top 50 picks in a class that has plenty of talent that fits their needs in the early rounds. The Kansas City Chiefs and Green Bay Packers could be two desperate teams for such a trade. Doing so would allow the Steelers to potentially address two different positions with potential starters like safeties Lewis Cine, Daxton Hill and Jaquan Brisker, while also getting receivers like George Pickens, Skyy Moore, Treylon Burks, or defensive linemen like Travis Jones, Perrion Winfrey, Devonte Wyatt or DeMarvin Leal. Doing so may mean missing out on a Jordan Davis or Chris Olave, but it could also provide more stability for the Steelers' ro by Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers

Steelers Trade Up vs. Trade Down Draft Day Options/Targets: Malik Willis, Kyle Hamilton, Matt Corral: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, is joined by Josh Taylor of KDKA-TV and 93.7 The Fan. The Pittsburgh Steelers have made three NFL Draft day trades while Kevin Colbert has been GM, but will he and Mike Tomlin take that path one more time before Colbert retires? Trade up options would most likely not be teams in the top ten this season, but if players the Steelers like fall to 12-15, trading up make sense for prospects like Kyle Hamilton, Malik Willis, Jordan Davis and Derek Stingley Jr. But if that option isn't available, or all their top 20 picks are gone, the team should also look to trade back to try to get two top 40 picks in this NFL Draft class. Trading back would give the Steelers to get a good chance to get talented skill players who don't go early like Lewis Cine, Daxton Hill, Andrew Booth Jr., Trent McDuiffie, Zion Johnson or Travis J by Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers

LOCKED ON COLTS 9/30/19: Colts ruin momentum with ugly loss to Oakland: On today's episode, Stampede Blue's Zach Hicks helps recap the Colts' stunning 31-24 home loss against Oakland. What exactly went wrong and what changes need to be made moving forward? After the 14-0 quick deficit, Indianapolis seemed shellshocked and was never able to crawl back to a late lead. Jacoby Brissett's pick-six on the possible game tying drive officially ended the game. Is the NFL figuring out Matt Eberflus' zone-heavy scheme? It sure seems that way as Derek Carr sliced through it for another efficient day. Eberflus' training camp words of seeing more "exotic looks" on defense is looking more like false hope than anything. Not good timing with Kansas City on tap next. We run through the usual notes from Sunday outings before closing with the three keys and prediction for the next game at Kansas City.

LOCKED ON COLTS 5/20/19: Top 5 Colts draft picks during Manning and Luck eras with Zach Hicks of Stampede Blue: Who were the shining stars from the most important eras of Indianapolis Colts football? It's time to settle that on today's episode with Stampede Blue's Zach Hicks as we discuss the top five players drafted during the Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck eras. Bill Polian is in the Hall of Fame for a reason, especially when you realize all the homegrown talent that succeeded long-term in Indianapolis. From Manning to a dynamic receiver and pass rush duo, the Colts were at the peak of their powers with all the firepower on both sides of the ball. During Luck's career with the Colts, it didn't start off well with elite talent surrounding him as Ryan Grigson fumbled away the first five or so years of his career before Chris Ballard saved the day. Outside of Luck and T.Y. Hilton, who makes the cut for best selections during this timeframe?

How NFL Combine's Fast Receivers Impact Steelers' Draft Plans, Malik Willis, Kenny Pickett's Results: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The NFL Scouting Combine had several fast receivers show off Thursday and many could've pushed their value to be picked early in the first round. That impacts the Pittsburgh Steelers' draft plans, potentially pushing down other stars to them. Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, Jahan Dotson, Christian Watson and Skyy Moore were among the receiver standouts. But those impressive 40-yard dash times could make it easier for the Steelers to get star prospects at other positions like Devin Lloyd, Tyler Linderbaum, Kenyon Green, Ahmad Gardner, and more. Also, Malik Willis and Kenny Pickett led the quarterback showings along with Desmond Ridder, Sam Howell and Carson Strong. But who showed the best strengths? The problem is, each has glaring weaknesses and no pick is a homerun selection at 20th overall. But their strengths co by Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers

Why Eagles/Saints Trade Knocks Steelers Out of Picking 1st Round QBs like Malik Willis/Kenny Pickett: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Wes Uhler of Steeler Nation Radio and the 'Eers and Beers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers do need a quarterback for the future. The NFL Draft this year has some interesting prospects, but the recent trade from the Philadelphia Eagles and New Orleans Saints may lock Mike Tomlin and Kevin Colbert from drafting a real first round QB like Malik Willis or Kenny Pickett. The Steelers' needs at several positions make it hard to trade up in this NFL Draft for a quarterback. But could there be a way to land one of the top five QB prospects like Willis, Pickett, Matt Corral, Desmond Ridder or Sam Howell? Also, Taco Charlton picked the Saints in free agency, meaning the Steelers' edge rusher depth chart looks like just T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, Genard Avery and Derek Tuszka.

Signing Day also is a warning sign to Tyquan Lewis, who has an uphill battle to find playing time on the defensive line. If Indy adds to their defensive line in the draft, Lewis could be gone as well. Finally, we close on the topic of paying Marlon Mack or drafting his replacement. What about names like JK Dobbins, Jonathan Taylor, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, or Cam Akers on Day 2. Appalachian State's Darrynton Evans is a Day 3 sleeper to consider.

But Devin Bush, Derek Watt and a few others looked like they could need more work. Also, Kenny Pickett got his first chance to run the Steelers' No. 2 offense and looked good doing it while Mason Rudolph struggled with the No. 3 offense.
