Potential Slot CB Prospects and Steelers FA

On this episode of Steelers, we look at four potentially intriguing CB options with one of them potentially being a top pick if he was a couple inches taller, another having a surprising breakout year in Tennessee, and another one being a perfect fit for Patrick Graham's defensive scheme, see which one I think the Steelers should take in the second or third round. Next, we'll break down the Steelers what is buzzing around the Steelers current FAs, and who they are currently linked with as the legal tampering period begins on Monday. Also, what is holding the Steelers up at the QB position, and why it eerily resembles what happened last year at this same position. Here my take on the situation, and why this MUST get figured out.

Combine Presser Takeaways and CB Evals Begin

On this episode of Steelers Central, we take some time to breakdown GM Omar Khan's Presser, and what he said and didn't say. It seems like they have an an inkling that Rodgers is coming back despite no immediate confirmation. He is excited about the team's cap situation in Free Agency and the 12 picks in the draft. He also cited the importance of signing some young core players to new contracts this offseason as well. There were some negatives though with Broderick Jones's current injury status and the lack of clarity at the WR position. We'll also break down one WR who significantly increased his value at the NFL Combine, and just won the CFP National Championship. This guy could be a significant NFL producer with his short and mid-field production and ability to separate down the field and make contested catches. Then we have three more than capable corners, one of them coming off of a season-ending ACL injury, one of them has an NFL bloodline, and one of them from a program that just produced a hybrid safety that helped win the Super Bowl. Listen to see which one I liked best, and hope the Steelers draft. 0:00-8:45 Indiana WR Omar Cooper 8:46-19:14 Omar Khan Presser 19:15-26:29 Clemson CB Aveion Terrell 26:20-33:41 Tennessee CB Jermod McCoy 33:42-41:16 South Carolina CB Brandon Cisse

We'll also look at the list of free agents that the Steelers have available, and separate them into three categories of resign, see what happens, and let them walk. Hear why the Steelers should resign Kenneth Gainwell, resign one of their corners, not rush to get Aaron Rodgers back, and why I won't be mad if the Steelers don't resign Isaac Seumalo. 0:00-11:25 Washington WR Denzel Boston 11:26-21:10 Texas A&M WR KC Concepcion 21:11-28:58 Alabama WR Germie Bernard 28:59-52:59 Who Stays and Who Goes
