Summary

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Jim Wexell of Steel City Insider, and author of On The Clock: Behind the Scenes with the Pittsburgh Steelers at the NFL Draft. The Pittsburgh Steelers are a lot closer to being real AFC contenders than many might think with their young offensive stars of Kenny Pickett, Najee Harris, George Pickens and Pat Freiermuth along with their star defensive players with T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward and Minkah Fitzpatrick. What are the steps to getting there in the NFL Draft, free agency and natural development that could put the Steelers on par with the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC? Also, rumors swirl about Mike Tomlin and the Steelers wanting Byron Leftwich to replace Matt Canada. Are they real? And if they are, could it happen? Finally, what's the path for the Steelers in the NFL Draft? Could cornerback become the team's top priority?
