Summary

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers added Keanu Neal and Breiden Fohoko recently in free agency, which shows a priority for role players like Patrick Peterson, Elandon Roberts and other signings. But those moves set up the chance for Omar Khan to target more X-factor type NFL Draft picks who have high ceilings. Does that mean the Steelers will be more willing to trade up in the first round? That could be the only way the Steelers have a chance to draft Devon Witherspoon, Christian Gonzalez, Peter Skoronski, Broderick Jones, or Paris Johnson Jr. Either way, the way the Steelers have built their roster shows they can get aggressive and not just go for players who have high ceilings. Also, it's Mock Draft Monday. This week's pick features Joey Porter Jr. as a pick, but why would he be a better choice than other second tier cornerback prospects?

1:12.4	and keanu neal the safety from the falcons and we talked a little bit about that then but i think we
1:16.4	should talk a little bit more about how they fit in now that we've had more time to kind of digest it
1:20.1	it was kind of raw then we'll say this though brad dupree still not signed not too shocking because
1:25.0	he was in for a physical and apparently there were no contract numbers discussed, but we're going to see how that plays out and maybe both sides are kind of
1:32.1	waiting for another shoot to drop there. So we'll see how that plays out. But I think there's
1:36.7	something that can be taking away from what the Steelers have done with this free agency period
1:41.6	to set up for the NFL draft. And I've talked about how last week it means that they're probably going to be aggressive.
1:47.1	Whatever direction that is, I think they're going to be aggressive in opening,
