Summary

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers' 2023 NFL Draft class added bulk and strength to both offense and defense. But the bulk on offense with Broderick Jones and Darnell Washington might be a sign that 2023 is going to be Najee Harris' year. A look at last year's numbers as well as Omar Khan's moves on offense paint an interesting picture. Also, there's one area to the defense that Omar Khan hasn't addressed much in free agency or the NFL Draft that could come back to bite the Steelers, and that's short passing coverage over the middle. Will they make free agency moves to fix the problem? Or will this be a weakness Mike Tomlin's team can fight past?

1:29.2	Because truly the Steelers, they've been in a rebuild. We've been talking about this rebuild
1:33.8	with Kenny Pickett and everything they've been doing. But a key piece of this rebuild was to get
1:38.4	Nanji Harris, who was projected to be the top running back of his draft class back when they
1:42.7	selected him in 2021, and to be the guy who could kind his draft class back when they selected him in 2021,
