Podcast: Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers
Published On: Mon Apr 13 2026
Description: Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers need to hit on wide receiver in this NFL Draft. But do they stand a much better chance to hit at receiver because of recent trends? Christopher Carter goes over the data he's collected over the last 25 years and why the information shows the NFL is in a golden age to draft receivers high and get the picks right. The Steelers haven't drafted a receiver in the first round since Santonio Holmes 20 years ago, but could this be the year to break that trend? Receiver prospects like Makai Lemon, Jordyn Tyson, Omar Cooper Jr. and KC Concepcion suggest that would be a strong bet. Chris also takes your questions from the Locked on Steelers call-in line about leadership on the team, whether the team should keep all 12 of their draft picks and reveals this week's winner of Mock Draft Monday.
