Steelers Daily Links: Cam Heyward on Jalen Carter, 2 OL in Draft?

Could the Pittsburgh Steelers take two offensive linemen in the 2023 NFL Draft? One longtime NFL analyst thinks so. Plus, Cam Heyward breaks down the film of Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter.

🏈 NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger expects the Steelers to draft two offensive lineman in this year’s draft. “I still think they need a tackle. And I’m looking for them to draft a center as well in this draft,” Baldinger said. “This is a good draft for centers. You can get good value in the second or third rounds at that position. I feel like they might draft two offensive lineman in this draft, and just fix this offensive line once and for all. It’s been a number of years since they’ve been an elite group. And I think they have a chance in this draft to get an elite tackle and maybe a center. And maybe you can just put this thing together and maybe Najee Harris gets some breathing room to get that big body moving through the AFC North.”

🏈 Ryan Wilson of CBS Sports said on 93.7 The Fan that he’s heard the Steelers “love” Ohio State offensive tackle Paris Johnson Jr.

🏈 Former Steelers inside linebacker Vince Williams finds it ironic that Odell Beckham Jr. labeled himself as an “underdog” during his introductory press conference with the Baltimore Ravens. “Odell saying he’s been an underdog his entire life has to be satire. Like at some point we gotta touch grass,” Williams tweeted.

🏈 NFL Network: The Buccaneers have signed former Chargers and Steelers offensive lineman Matt Feiler to a one-year deal. Feiler started 40 games for the Steelers from 2017-2020 before signing with the Chargers. 

🏈 Former Steelers wide receiver Sammie Coates dropped a random fact on Twitter. “In the 2016 season with the Steelers against the Jets, I broke my finger and had to get stitches at halftime. I finish the game with 100 plus yards and 2TD!” Coates wrote. Coates never found the end zone again after those two touchdowns. In fact, it was the only touchdowns of his four-year NFL career.

🏈 Kenny Pickett will be at this year’s Steelers Draft Party, which will take place on Friday, April 28 at Stage AE. Cam Heyward will also record an episode of his podcast with current and former players at the event.
