Summary

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers' 2023 NFL Draft class added offensive talents like Broderick Jones and Darnell Washington. But what do they do to help Kenny Pickett develop as an NFL quarterback? They, along with free agents like Isaac Seumalo, make for an offensive line that can get spark more efficiency in the run game, and protect Pickett to help him be more efficient in his deep passing attack. All those things point to a more complete offense. Also, assistant general manager (GM) Andy Weidl spoke to Pittsburgh media on Friday. His description of the Steelers plans with their draft class fit the plans of fixing the team to be more physical, especially at the line of scrimmage, and follow the blueprint of the Philadelphia Eagles' rise to be one of the best NFC teams.

0:10.3	But let's talk about how it's going to help Kenny Pickett be a better NFL quarterback, which is one of the biggest objections of 2023.
0:18.4	I'm your host, Chris Carter, the Lockdown Steelers podcast.

1:22.2	And we're going to, I have several layers to this conversation about the draft and how it
1:26.2	relates to Kenny Pickett, getting
1:27.6	Kenny Pickett to be the Kenny Pickett that they drafted him to be. And this is still a very
1:32.5	early step in his process. But one of the things that we noted last year about Kenny Pickett was
1:37.4	how limited he was and not throwing the ball deep down the field. Now, we know Kenny Pickett
1:41.4	doesn't have the biggest cannon of an arm, but he does have an accurate arm. He does, he can get the ball to the right spots. We've seen
1:47.2	him do it in college. We've seen him do it a little bit in the pros, and he got sharper as the year
1:51.0	went on. But one of the big things that never materialized for Kenny Pickett and that will need
