Summary

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Mike DeFabo, Steelers beat writer for The Athletic. The Pittsburgh Steelers have shown the type of NFL Draft defensive linemen they like in bigger, versatile options like Wisconsin's Keeanu Benton, Florida's Gervon Dexter, Clemson's Bryan Bresee and Iowa's Lukas Van Ness. But is that the right move for Omar Khan and Mike Tomlin? Picking one of those players would require first or second round picks, and that could get in the way of selecting top offensive tackle and cornerback prospects. Also, a listener calls into the show to ask about Georgia defensive lineman Jalen Carter, who recently said he wouldn't talk to teams outside top ten NFL Draft picks. But after being arrested in March and having a bad pro day, will he fall to the Steelers? Finally, another listener calls into the show to ask if there's a position the Steelers will double up on in the NFL Draft. Chris Carter and Mike DeFabo feel the most likely position that happens at is cornerback.

1:34.6	one of which was Keanu Betten, another was Julius Brent, a cornerback, who we'll talk about
1:38.7	a little bit later in the show. But I want to talk about the defensive lineman because now you see the Steelers kind of putting an
1:44.6	emphasis on a specific type of defensive lineman for specifically that I think that we could
1:50.0	point out Keanu Betton with this visit that they had made a big point to look at Brian Brisea at
1:54.5	the Clemson Pro Day.
1:55.8	Robon Dexter has already talked about meeting with the Steelers at the Combine and of course

2:06.2	Mike, are they're big. They have long, they have long wingspans. They're guys who could play
