About this episode
Ricky Turner discusses predictions for the Steelers' draft strategy and insights from Mike McCarthy's pre-draft presser.
On this episode of Steelers Central, it is finally mock draft time with the draft just one day away, and the Steelers picking at 21. I'll give you my prediction on what the Steelers will do throughout the weekend, what they prioritize, and all while not trading picks. WR in Round 1 and Guard Round 2? Does the team take a QB, and just how much offensive line depth does the team go with? Then we'll get into some my bold predictions on what the Steelers do in this draft. Tune in to see what how aggressive the team moves up to get their guys, and just how many WRs does the team take in this draft! Lastly, I'll give my takeaways on what Mike McCarthy talked about on Tuesday regarding his plans for implementing his offense, and why I think it is a good shakeup from having a defensive minded coach the way he is doing it. 0:00-24:04 Steelers 2026 Mock Draft (No Trades) 24:05-31:32 Steelers 2026 Draft Bold Predictions 31:33-37:35 Mike McCarthy Pre-Draft Presser Takeaways
