Welcome to the Locked-on Steelers podcast. I am your host, Tony Serino, and this is your daily dose

of all things, Steelers. Today on the podcast, we're going to go over the Steelers' draft. Now that

0:11.0

the draft is completed, we're going to go over all seven prospects the Steelers brought in and really

0:15.9

take a look at what this means, right? There's been so much negativity about this draft,

0:20.2

feeling like a missed opportunity. We'll talk about that and what this draft, right? There's been so much negativity about this draft, feeling like a missed
