Steelers Preparing Trade-Up Move for Top Offensive Tackle? | Mike Tomlin's Dinner w/Ohio State OL: Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Tony Serino of AFC North Talk. The Pittsburgh Steelers continue their Pro Day visits for top NFL Draft prospects, and a focus is clear at offensive tackle. Could Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan be preparing for a trade-up move to get one of this NFL Draft class' top offensive tackles? Tomlin had dinner with Ohio State's top three offensive line prospects in tackles Paris Johnson and Dawand Jones, as well as center Luke Wypler. The Steelers' best move might be trading back, but after moves to bring in Andy Weidl's guys in guards Issac Semaulo and Nate Herbig, could a top tier offensive tackle be the priority of this draft class over everything else? Also, will the Steelers draft a young edge rusher in the early rounds this year despite having T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith?

Can Steelers Pay Diontae Johnson like Terry McLaurin's and A.J. Brown's Contracts? / Trade Options: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Tony Serino of AFC North Talk. The Pittsburgh Steelers may have re-signed Minkah Fitzpatrick, but Diontae Johnson is still waiting for a new deal. The Washington Commanders paid Terry McLaurin $71 million over three years and the Philadelphia Eagles paid A.J. Brown $100 million over four years. Both deals average out over $23 million per season. Is Johnson worth that kind of pay? Stats and context give the answer. Also, if Johnson can't be paid, should Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan look to trade him? Franchise tag? Let hit free agency in hope for a compensation pick? Finally, a caller asks if CB1 is on the Steelers roster right now. There are a lot of CB2s in Cameron Sutton, Ahkello Witherspoon and Levi Wallace.

Why Steelers Won't Trade Diontae Johnson | Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Jordan Addison, NFL Draft WR Targets: Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Mark Kaboly of the Athletic. The Pittsburgh Steelers won't trade Diontae Johnson anytime soon. Mike Tomlin indicated he's still a big part of the Steelers' plans on offense with Kenny Pickett, but could the Steelers add another wide receiver in the NFL Draft? Top option like Ohio State's Jaxon Smith-Njigba and USC's Jordan Addison might be too tough of a reach at 17th overall, but several players like Cedric Tillman could work in the middle rounds of the NFL Draft. What's the best plan of attack? Also, the Steelers have top 30 visits with cornerbacks Mississippi State's Emmanuel Forbes and Miami's Tyrique Stevenson. But both of those are cornerbacks projected to go in the second and third rounds of the NFL Draft. Are the Steelers planning to wait to pick a cornerback?

How Pittsburgh Steelers' Offensive Line Needs Match with NFL Draft Class After Combine Results: Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers clearly need upgrades on the offensive line this offseason and with the NFL Scouting Combine concluded, it's time to talk more about the offensive tackles, guards and centers. Peter Skoronski tested well while Broderick Jones measured at the right size and also tested well to almost guarantee both would join Paris Johnson Jr. as a favorable prospect to be selected in the top 15 picks. But, where could the Steelers get help at offensive line? Anton Harrison, O'Cyrus Torrence, and John Michael Schmitz all look like players who should be strong second round pick options. But also, what players performed well in the combine to be stronger first round pick options? Cornerback Deonte Banks was among the best who could be considered by Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan.

Steelers' Adding Guard Isaac Seumalo a Good Sign for Omar Khan/Andy Weidl's Plan for Offensive Line: Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers added guard Isaac Seumalo in free agency, a big move to boost their offensive line. What does that move say about Omar Khan and Andy Weidl's plan for the Steelers' offense with Kenny Pickett, Najee Harris and the balance under Matt Canada and Mike Tomlin? The move clearly shows the Steelers building towards a run-balanced offense that plays off a strong defense. But why is that the move in a quarterback-driven, passing league? There could be a plan that gets the Steelers ahead of the curve. Also, another mock draft Monday, including some offensive picks that could help set the Steelers up to be a really physical group after their moves at guard.

Najee Harris took to the airwaves to talk about him being a new leader for the Pittsburgh Steelers after Ben Roethlisberger's retirement, while Deebo Samuel trade speculation swirls and draft week arrives. But there are clear reasons why Mike Tomlin and Kevin Colbert should stay away from Samuel and the San Francisco 49ers while the team already has a wide receiver with more sure hands in Diontae Johnson. Does center Tyler Linderbaum fit into the NFL Draft day plans for the Steelers? Not in the first round unless a lot of crazy things happen, and even if it does, Zion Johnson would be a better option.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are ready to attack NFL free agency. But, Omar Khan has to make reasonable moves and not just go after big names like linebacker Tremaine Edmunds. Instead, he should put a focus on signing Steelers cornerback Cameron Sutton, as well as Terrell Edmunds and Damontae Kazee, and then go after less expensive free agents like former San Francisco 49ers linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, among others. Cornerback, safety, linebacker and defensive line will all be like targets for Khan to fit into Mike Tomlin's roster.

Steelers Free Agency Prioritizes Keanu Neal/Role Players | Omar Khan After X-Factor NFL Draft Picks: Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers added Keanu Neal and Breiden Fohoko recently in free agency, which shows a priority for role players like Patrick Peterson, Elandon Roberts and other signings. But those moves set up the chance for Omar Khan to target more X-factor type NFL Draft picks who have high ceilings. Does that mean the Steelers will be more willing to trade up in the first round? That could be the only way the Steelers have a chance to draft Devon Witherspoon, Christian Gonzalez, Peter Skoronski, Broderick Jones, or Paris Johnson Jr. Either way, the way the Steelers have built their roster shows they can get aggressive and not just go for players who have high ceilings.

Steelers Draft Day Trade-Up Scenario Becoming Real? | Pick Above Darnell Wright | Top Trade Partners: Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com. The Pittsburgh Steelers' trade-up scenarios are becoming more real. Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan spoke Monday and gave plenty of hints towards the Steelers' NFL Draft plans that could be a trade-up for a top offensive tackle. And that top offensive tackle has to be Paris Johnson, Broderick Jones or Peter Skoronski, and stay ahead of Darnell Wright. But in response to the Steelers' trade-up, they will also need to trade down from the 32nd overall pick. That's very possible, and especially if a quarterback like Hendon Hooker falls out of the first round.

Steelers Miss On Bud Dupree, Now Need Real Edge Options | Free Agents | NFL Draft Edge Rusher Fits: Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers didn't sign Bud Dupree as he agreed to a deal with the Atlanta Falcons. That means the Steelers need to find an edge rusher or two to fill in behind T.J.

Also, who are the top edge rushers available in the NFL Draft who might fall to the Steelers? And where might the Steelers take one of them? Lukas Van Ness is a first round option, but the Steelers might need to wait until the second or third round to find the right option, like Nolan Smith, B.J.
