Hey, everyone, Chris Carter here on the Locked-on Steelers podcast.

I'm back from the Senior Bowl, and I'm giving you my biggest insights because I got my first mock draft of the off-season coming up right here on today's episode.

We'll talk about why this is the year to trade up, why I like this wide receiver class a lot at several different levels and an update on the Steelers coaching hires all here on the Locked on Steelers podcast.

Let's get into it.

As you can see, them in my home office setting. We got a big fun week coming up for you here as we get used to it gets more settled in with what the Steelers new coaching staff looks like, lots of things up in the air there. But I wanted to kick things off with something a little bit more fun and stepping away from the coaching search and give you guys my first look my first mock draft that I'm doing here on this show. It's also available for the Pittsburgh Post Gazette post-gazette.com where you can read it

out in full if you want to look a little bit closer to things, if you put a read-out type of mock drafts. But I want to emphasize why, you know, what I'm doing here, this is sort of my post senior bowl mock draft now that I've gotten a sense of, a better sense of this class and more guys throughout the class.

And this will be an ongoing thing.

We're going to give you a look at the picks that I have here in coming up in this episode.

Now, I want to preemphasize something here.

This is not my final.

Like, oh, this is definitely where they're going to go.

Mock drafts for me are very experimental from this point all the way up until like early april we get until the last couple weeks of april that's what i'm going to try to hone in on say okay this is exactly how i think it's going to be at least as close to i think it could go uh with with my projections right now but this is the early stage right now i'm trying to give you a sense of where i think the Steelers are looking at, the picks that they're projected to have based off the compit projections we've seen, which directions they could go. And we're going to do a lot of exploring now over the next several months, the next few months here as we get into things. Because now we're in February. By the way, it's February. Happy Black History Month to everyone.

But I want to look at the Steelers possibilities here.
