Watch Alan Saunders and Dan Kingerski from Sports Now Group Pittsburgh talk Pittsburgh Steelers every Sunday night on The Final Word on WPXI-TV Channel 11.

By all accounts, the Pittsburgh Steelers and general manager Omar Khan had another successful week at the 2024 NFL Draft. Khan’s class has been lauded from all angles, including an A+ grade from Pro Football Focus and high marks from ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper Jr., among others.

But did the Steelers do enough to make them true contenders in a loaded AFC North?

Alan Saunders of Steelers Now joined Jenna Harner from our partners at WPXI, Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and Locked On Steelers and former Central Catholic, Pitt and Penn State linebacker Johnny Petrishen to discuss that, as well as whether Pittsburgh could do as good of a job as Detroit in hosting an NFL Draft, and what Khan and company still need to work on to improve their roster after the dust has settled.
