March 18, 2026 Pro Day Intrigue | Steelers Afternoon Drive
Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers.
On today's episode, we discuss the Steelers hitting the pro day circuit with the first stop for Alan at Happy Valley for Penn State's pro day. That said, the first stop for the Steelers top brass was at Georgia. What do we make of this? Should we read into the representation or lack of? What impressed Alan about what he saw on and off the field from the Penn State products including Vega Ioane, Drew Allar and several others? Is it possible Mike McCarthy and Omar Khan went to Georgia to gather intel in regard to Carson Beck from Kirby Smart? Is it a foregone conclusion that the '27 draft class will be much stronger at QB?

March 17, 2026 Do Steelers NEED to Draft a Slot WR? | Steelers Morning Rush
Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League.
Today, it's whether the next wide receiver for the Steelers needs to be someone that can play in the slot. New addition Michael Pittman Jr. is capable of playing both inside and outside, so when scouting for the 2026 NFL Draft, should Omar Khan be looking for an outside player to put Pittman inside or a slot man to leave the veteran on the outside?
Alan breaks it down.

March 16, 2026 FA or Draft? How Should Steelers Adress Slot WR? | Steelers Afternoon Drive
Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers.
On today's episode, we discuss the first impressions of Jaquan Brisker and Sebastian Joseph-Day following them signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers. We then discuss Christian Kirk no longer being an option after signing with the 49ers. Should the Steelers still be looking at the free agent market or just turn to the draft to find their slot WR option? Could they take advantage if a bunch of teams are looking to move back, but not as many coming up? Former Pittsburgh Steeler (yeah, it happened) Darius Slay announced his retirement.

Obviously, the needs for the team in the 2026 NFL Draft have changed quite a bit after one week of free agency, but how have they been shifted after the trade for Michael Pittman Jr. and the signings of Jamel Dean, Rico Dowdle, and others -- and also about the moves the Steelers did not make?
