Episode Notes
Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com.
The Pittsburgh Steelers still need a franchise quarterback and the 2027 NFL Draft class could have several first round passers ready to go. But should the Steelers trade away 2026 NFL Draft picks for the chance at being in prime position to draft a quarterback next year? Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders discuss whether that's a good idea to load up on future picks, or if the Steelers should focus on the talents in this draft class. Quarterbacks like Arch Manning, Jayden Maiava, Julian Sayin, Dante Moore, C.J. Carr and LaNorris Sellers all could be big prospects this time next year. But if Omar Khan doesn't acquire more picks with trades, will the Steelers be in the market to make a big move when the time is right? Chris and Alan take more of your questions, like whether the Steelers should be in the tight end draft market, and if the Steelers bear any similarities to the 2002 Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a new head coach inheriting a good team and an old quarterback?
