Steelers Make WR Top NFL Combine Priority | Don't Buy Hate on Makai Lemon | Fastest WR Group Ever?

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers showed their top priority of the 2026 NFL Draft is to fix their wide receiver depth chart. Christopher Carter reveals what he learned at the NFL combine and how the Steelers approached what could be the strongest part of this draft class: the wide receivers. From Carnell Tate and Omar Cooper Jr. to Chris Brazzell II and J. Michael Sturdivant, the receivers put up a strong performance as a collective at the NFL combine and might be the fastest receiver draft class to ever run in the 40-yard dash. Also, Chris talks about how the Steelers used 14 formal interviews at the combine and why that's a big sign the Steelers are considering to make at least two picks -- and maybe even three picks -- at wide receiver in this draft class. And contrary to online social media rumors, Chris thinks USC receiver Makai Lemon did just fine at the combine and is still a top pick in this draft class. Finally, Chris reveals this week's Mock Draft Monday winner's picks.
