Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will be looking at several positions at the NFL Scouting Combine, but who are the top interests at linebacker and defensive line? Chris Carter goes over some of the big names in both groups he's most interested in talking with at the combine, and goes over why linebacker could be more important than some estimate. Payton Wilson, Edgerrin Cooper, Jeremiah Trotter Jr., Jer'Zahn Newton, Byron Murphy II, T'Vondre Sweat are all targets to consider, but who is the best fit for the Steelers' defensive plans in the early rounds of the NFL Draft?

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Nick Farabaugh of SteelersNow.com.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a very athletic NFL Draft class to consider in 2024, so Chris Carter and Nick Farabaugh are going to judge which NFL Combine standouts are the best fits for the Steelers. Listen as they play buy or sell and consider top offensive tackles like Amarius Mims vs Tyler Guyton, which are the top cornerbacks and receivers, and sleepers the Steelers should consider.

Also, every day NFL free agency grows with more options to sign. Are there top free agent targets for Omar Khan that could be realistic for the Steelers?

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Mike DeFabor of the Athletic.

The Pittsburgh Steelers only have Kenny Pickett on their roster when it comes to quarterbacks. So why does it look like they won't make a big splash at quarterback? Chris Carter and Mike DeFabo explain what they're hearing, including Mike's recent story for The Athletic with sources that show the reasoning why the Steelers aren't in on trading for Justin Fields, or signing Russell Wilson or Kirk Cousins.

Also, as trade speculation grows around Diontae Johnson's status with the Steelers, Chris and Mike explore if the thoughts behind trading Johnson are more about his contract situation, or if there's internal drama the team's trying to deal with.

Finally, as the NFL free agency pool grows, multiple positions continue to grow with options at cornerback, linebacker, wide receiver, center and other positions of need for the Steelers. Chris and Mike discuss reasonable options.
