Summary

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Jim Wexell of SteelCity Insider, and author of On The Clock, Behind the Scenes with the Pittsburgh Steelers at the NFL Draft. The Pittsburgh Steelers have shown in their top 30 visits they want some of the best cornerbacks and offensive tackles of this NFL Draft. But Omar Khan and Mike Tomlin can't focus too hard on those needs and miss out on the chance for a top tier edge rusher, linebacker, center, or even ... a running back? Bottom line for the Steelers is they have several needs for the future and this draft is deep with talent. Could they end up with Nolan Smith? Who's the better center between John Michael Schmitz and Joe Tippmann? And would they be crazy for taking Bijan Robinson if he fell to 17? Those questions and more are taken on by Chris Carter and Jim Wexell, and the final winner of Mock Draft Monday is announced.
