| 0:07.0 | The Bick-Keeleers have made a selection in the |
| 0:10.0 | 2024 NFL draft alongside Locked on College football host, |
| 0:13.0 | Spencer McLaughlin. |
| 0:15.0 | I am Teneitra Beti and we are joined by Chris Carter of |
| 0:18.0 | Lock on Steelers to break down the Steelers, selecting Zach Frazier with the number 51 pick. |
| 0:24.8 | So Chris, what do you like in what you see in the center out of West Virginia? |
| 0:29.7 | First, I got to say, this is a dream scenario for the Steelers. |
| 0:33.4 | The biggest question that we all had on Locked on Steelers for months was if they got, a lot of |
