Summary

Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The Pittsburgh Steelers didn't address their offensive line once in the 2022 NFL Draft after signing James Daniels and Mason Cole in free agency and bringing back Chukwuma Okorafor. But was that enough to fix the offensive line that's struggled in recent years? Between Daniels, Cole, Okorafor, Kendrick Green, Kevin Dotson, Dan Moore Jr. and J.C. Hassenhauer, the Steelers' offensive line will have a lot of work in 2022 to establish an identity. But can they become the group that opens up holes for Najee Harris and protects either Kenny Pickett or Mitch Trubisky or Mason Rudolph enough in the pocket? There's ways the skill players can help mitigate the OL's struggles, especially with mobile quarterbacks. But between Pickett and Trubisky, what are the advantages each player has over each other before rookie camp starts? And is Rudolph in a position to be cut altogether?
