Summary

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers' owner Art Rooney II hinted last week that the team could maybe focus more of their NFL Draft picks on defense. But if they do that, how could they improve an offense that needs to improve? The answer is tied to how the Steelers did it in their jump from being a bad offense in 2013 to a good offense in 2014, all without drafting an offensive player in the first two rounds of that year's draft. For that to happen, Kenny Pickett, Najee Harris and the offensive line will need to take steps forward. But those steps aren't as steep as they might've appeared in 2022. Also, now that the Senior Bowl is done, we know some more standouts. And the group that's looking really good is the offensive line, which is a good sign for the Steelers' draft plans. Finally, the last of the Stars and Skulls final grades are in, and it's the defensive line. This group had the lowest grade on the team, but also the highest. Where did Cam Heyward, Larry Ogunjobi and DeMarvin Leal fit?
