Why Steelers Trade Back in 1st Round, Desmond Ridder vs Matt Corral vs Kenny Pickett vs Malik Willis: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast and is joined by Adam Crowley of 93.7 The Fan. The Pittsburgh Steelers have sent Mike Tomlin to about every quarterback's Pro Day, visiting Pitt for Kenny Pickett, Liberty for Malik Willis, Ole Miss for Matt Corral, and now Cincinnati for Desmond Ridder. But who do they really want? And should the Steelers trade back in the first round of the NFL Draft? Doing so would provide a better shot at second round graded quarterbacks like Ridder and Corral while still allowing the Steelers two good shots at addressing other skill positions like defensive tackle, cornerback, safety and wide receiver. And is Mitch Trubisky good enough to carry the Steelers offense for now? With Najee Harris and a fixed offensive line, yes.. But Kevin Colbert and Tomlin might not be done adding to the offensive line, as players like Zion Joh by Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers

Ahkello Witherspoon's Return Signals Steelers' Push for Star Safeties Tyrann Mathieu, Landon Collins: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, is joined by Jenna Harner of WPXI-TV. The Pittsburgh Steelers re-signed Ahkello Witherspoon to a two-year contract, essentially ending the team's free agency search at cornerback. Now, Kevin Colbert and Mike Tomlin must find their starting strong safety, and they've got plenty of money to do that. Free agents like Tyrann Mathieu and Landon Collins are still on the market looking for a new team, as well as the experienced Terrell Edmunds who could be signed for a smaller hit on the team's salary cap. Will the Steelers make a big move? Mitch Trubisky, Myles Jack, James Daniels, Levi Wallace and Jason Cole all addressed Pittsburgh media for the first time, speaking about the culture of the organization and how Tomlin, Brian Flores and Cam Heyward have all played big parts in their joining the team.
