April 22 – Ep. 52: On this episode of The Depot Dive, Joe Clark and Ross McCorkle start by discussing the many topics covered in Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan's pre-draft press conference. That includes Jaylen Warren RB1, Aaron Rodgers not impacting draft plans, how they will approach draft trades, and Tomlin being impressed with Shedeur Sanders. For the next topic, we discuss the idea of trading back being more likely than trading up and some reports that indicate a quarterback could be the target at the end of the first round. For the third topic, we discuss Cameron Heyward's PSA to fans during draft season to believe half (or less) of what you hear. To wrap things up we answer a listener question about Jalen Milroe's upside versus Shedeur Sanders' (perhaps) limited ceiling.

April 22, 2025 - Season 15, Episode 123 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Tuesday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the main takeaways stemming from the annual pre-draft press conference that Pittsburgh Steelers GM Omar Khan and HC Mike Tomlin had on Tuesday morning. While Khan and Tomlin didn’t give away any draft secrets on Tuesday, they did at least provide several talking points for us during their press conference. We discuss the Steelers possibly moving down instead of up in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft based on what Khan said. We also discuss the Steelers not moving away from a player or players they like in the first round as well. We go over what Khan and Tomlin said about the state of the quarterback room right now and their view of the status with free agent QB Aaron Rodgers. Tomlin talked a little about RB Jaylen Warren as well as the nose tackle position on Tuesday, so Alex and I parse those comments. We also go over what Khan said about the Steelers possibly trading WR George Pickens this weekend as well as the plausibility of the team re-acquiring a second round select in the 2025 NFL Draft. Tomlin talked a lot about the team's pre-draft meeting with Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders so Alex and I over parse what he had to say. We talk some about Tomlin saying that his first time ever meeting Sanders was when he came to Pittsburgh for his pre-draft visit and if that is in any way notable. Alex and I also discuss the Steelers need for a big play running back when it comes to this year's draft and how height, weight and age should not matter when it comes to landing such a player.

April 21, 2025 - Season 15, Episode 122 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing a few notable things said and written by Adam Schefter of ESPN and Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette with draft week now officially here. When it comes to Schefter, we discuss him throwing out Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens as one of 13 players still on rookie contracts that could potentially be traded before the 2025 NFL Draft ends. Alex and I discuss the plausibility and probability of Pickens ultimately being traded and what it would likely need to look like for both sides as far as compensation and potential contract negotiation obstacles go. There are quite a few hypotheticals thrown around in this discussion. Schefter also threw out the idea that the Steelers could trade down in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, so Alex and I look at the plausibility, probability and hypotheticals associated with the Steelers potentially doing that. As for Dulac, he has essentially indicated that the Steelers would only draft a position such as quarterback in the first round if a defensive lineman they desire is no longer on the board. Alex and I push back a little bit on that notion. We also address Dulac's recent thoughts on a new contract for OLB T.J. Watt this summer and push back on a few things associated with what he said on that matter as well. Will Oregon DL Derrick Harmon be off the board by the 21st overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft? Could the Cincinnati Bengals be in serious contention to select Harmon at 17th overall? Would the Bengals pick Harmon over Mississippi DT Walter Nolen? Also, could weight control at all be considered a concern when it comes to Harmon? We address all of these questions during the Monday show. Could North Dakota State QB Cam Miller factor into the Steelers' draft plans this year? We discuss the recent news associated with Miller and the Steelers. I also inform Alex how I have warmed up quite a bit on Ohia State QB Will Howard after watching more of his tape over the weekend. Alex and I discuss the possibility of only four or five running backs being selected before the 83rd overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. How many teams are likely to select a running back before the Steelers 83rd overall selection with this year's draft class being so deep at the position? Is there any chance at all the Steelers will select a tight end or offensive lineman in the 2025 NFL Draft? Alex and I tackle those two position groups later in this show. This 97-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap as well. We end this show by answering a few emails we received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

April 18, 2025 - Season 15, Episode 121 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the long interview that free agent QB Aaron Rodgers had on The Pat McAfee Show on Thursday. The Rodgers interview was nearly 40 minutes in length, and it provided a lot of talking points for us to discuss. Alex and I also go over our main takeaways that seemed useful stemming from that Thursday interview. We also discuss the stance the steelers should have with Rodgers at this point when it comes to a possible time frame they need his decision by. After discussing Rodgers to open the show we move on to our annual pre-draft roundtable discussion with several contributors of the site. The roundtable this year includes Joe Clark, Ross McCorkle, Josh Carney, Jonathan Heitritter, Nate Kosko, Jake Brockhoff, and Steven Pavelka all joining the show to discuss several 2025 draft prospects. We address several main position groups the Steelers are likely to have the most interest in this year. We name several late round draft sleeper prospects in this show, and we get the members of the roundtable to each name their top few choices to be the steelers first-round selection this year as well.

April 16, 2025 - Season 15, Episode 120 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers re-signing G Max Scharping to a one-year contract on Tuesday. We go over what his signing means and what his contract should look like. The Steelers have now completed all of their pre-draft visits as of Wednesday morning, so Alex and I go over that list of players. We discuss notable players that were not brough in for a visit and what that is likely to mean for a few of them. We also discuss the two running backs that visited on Tuesday and the likelihood of one of them being selected by the Steelers in 2025 NFL Draft. Will the Steelers make three selections in the first three rounds of this year’s draft by the time day-two ends? Alex and I discuss my gut feeling when it comes to that specific question. Alex and I attempt to build a compact list of players we think the Steelers will draft in the first round based on pre-draft visits and pro-day activity. Now that I have caught up more on the tape of Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders, Alex and I have a lengthy conversation about him and if the Steelers should consider him a franchise player in the first round and especially if he were to fall to them at 21st overall. We also go over some deep passing stats related to other Power Five Conference quarterbacks in this year's draft class. Later in this Wednesday show, Alex and I go over some choices to be late-round sleepers for the Steelers in this year's draft. This 115-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap as well. As usual, we end this episode by answering a few email questions we have received from listeners of the show. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
