North Shore Drive podcast - Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and more

On his weekly Chipped Ham and Football podcast, Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko welcomes Andy Phillips, author of "Round Zero: Inside the NFL Draft," to preview this year's event. Why do the Steelers' strategies of finding receivers in middle rounds, Hall of Fame centers and consistently great EDGE rushers stand the test of time? How is the draft process changing, and how do the Steelers, coach Mike Tomlin and GM Omar Khan fit into that? And how many of the Steelers' top potential targets will be available at No. 20? Will the likes of Tailese Fuaga, JC Latham, Troy Fautanu and Olu Fashanu all be gone? Will that level them with Georgia OT Amarius Mims? Or could they be forced to draft a center like Jackson Powers-Johnson or Graham Barton? And should Steelers fans root for QB names like Michael Penix Jr., J.J. McCarthy and Bo Nix to go early to avoid that fate? Our duo tackles those questions and more.
