Summary

Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Wes Uhler of Steeler Nation Radio and the 'Eers and Beers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers do need a quarterback for the future. The NFL Draft this year has some interesting prospects, but the recent trade from the Philadelphia Eagles and New Orleans Saints may lock Mike Tomlin and Kevin Colbert from drafting a real first round QB like Malik Willis or Kenny Pickett. The Steelers' needs at several positions make it hard to trade up in this NFL Draft for a quarterback. But could there be a way to land one of the top five QB prospects like Willis, Pickett, Matt Corral, Desmond Ridder or Sam Howell? Also, Taco Charlton picked the Saints in free agency, meaning the Steelers' edge rusher depth chart looks like just T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, Genard Avery and Derek Tuszka. Another addition may be needed like Takkarist McKinley, but there are edge rusher sleepers in this NFL Draft. We take a closer look at Wisconsin's linebacker Noah Burks as a potential answer.
