Summary

April 16 – Ep. 98: For this episode of The Depot Dive, Joe Clark and Ross McCorkle go over the Steelers' full pre-draft visitor list and what it tells us about their intentions in the first round and beyond for the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft. Which positions did the focus on, and were there any surprises with the final visitors? Next, we discuss the idea of trading up (and down) in the draft, and why that is likely to happen with the Steelers owning 12 picks. Last, we talk about some lesser-talked about first-round options for the Steelers and whether or not Pittsburgh will break it's pre-draft visitor trend this year. We wrap up the show with a listener question about which prospect we would pound on the table for.
