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

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been working the phones for trade offers two weeks before the NFL trade deadline. But could Omar Khan be targeting cornerbacks like Riq Woolen or Roger McCreary over receivers like Chris Olave and Jakobi Meyers? Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh explore why both positions could be a priority for the Steelers, and what moves would make the most sense for the team that could use help at either position. Also, Chris and Nick evaluate what they see wrong with the run defense and why they let up so many rushing yards to Chase Brown and the Bengals. Are the issues fixable or coud the defense be in over its head? Finally, Chris and Nick go over what's still an interesting 2026 NFL Draft quarterback class, and why the names have changed but there's still interesting quarterbacks for the Steelers to target like Fernando Mendoza, Dante Moore, and Ty Simpson among others.
