April 17, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 121 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the final known pre-draft visitor that the Pittsburgh Steelers hosted on Wednesday. That means we discuss DB Treydan Stukes, an Arizona product, following his visit to Pittsburgh on Wednesday. We go over Stukes' fit in Pittsburgh and when he is most likely to get drafted. After reviewing the final list of the Steelers' pre-draft visitors for 2026, Alex and I spend some time talking about whether the team will select a quarterback this year and how soon if they do. We also discuss how many other teams are likely to select a quarterback during the first four rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft and if that might impact the Steelers when it comes to them waiting to select one until after the fourth round. The Steelers made their three new coordinators, Brian Angelichio (OC), Patrick Graham (DC), and Danny Crossman (STC), available to the media on Friday morning and on the heels of those sessions, we discuss a few notable things that were said by each of the three coaches. Alex conducted a live mock draft on Thursday night, and he streamed it on YouTube. Additionally, several listeners took part in it as GMs of other NFL teams. We discuss the team that Alex was able to draft for the Steelers during that four round mock and we go over a few takeaways that were learned from it as well. This 84-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above and we end this show by answering several email questions we received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Next, we discuss the idea of trading up (and down) in the draft, and why that is likely to happen with the Steelers owning 12 picks. Last, we talk about some lesser-talked about first-round options for the Steelers and whether or not Pittsburgh will break it's pre-draft visitor trend this year. We wrap up the show with a listener question about which prospect we would pound on the table for.

April 15, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 120 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the most recent pre-draft visitors that the Pittsburgh Steelers have hosted. That means the discuss QB Drew Allar, OG Olaivavega Ioane, OG Beau Stephens, TE Will Kacmarek, OL Spencer Fano, WR Germie Bernard, and QB Taylen Green all coming to Pittsburgh since our last show on Monday. As Alex and I await word on the 30th pre-draft visitor to surface, we go over the list of 29 known non-local players that have come to Pittsburgh with our focus being on those that are legitimate candidates to be the team's first-round selection this year. WR Omar Cooper Jr. isn't going to be on the Steelers' pre-draft visitor list this year, so we go over that bit of news and what that likely means for his chances of being the team's first-round pick this year. Alex recently posted version 3.0 of his offseason mock draft series so with that, we review the 12 selections he has for the Steelers. We also make sure to plug our upcoming livestreamed mock draft that Alex will be running on Thursday night. Alex also recently posted about three trade scenarios for the Steelers during the 2026 NFL Draft, so we review his ideas related to that topic. I also get Alex's thoughts on one other possible trade scenario in the first round for the Steelers. Later in this show, Alex and I go over the lengthy list of pre-draft visits that WR Denzel Boston has had. We also discuss the news that former Steelers WR Hines Ward will be back in Pittsburgh for the 2026 NFL Draft.

April 13, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 119 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the pre-draft visitors the team recently hosted on Friday. That means that we fully discuss three draft prospects in OT Travis Burke, LB Harold Perkins, and CB Malik Muhammad. With the Steelers bringing in quite a few cornerbacks for pre-draft visits this year, Alex and I examine the possibility of the team selecting one in the first two days of the 2026 NFL Draft and even as early as the second round at 53rd overall. On the heels of Alex doing a draft study on wide receivers that have been selected over the years, we ho over the one player that checked every box and the few that were able to check all but one of the testing boxes. We discuss how future studies for other positions are likely to go by the wayside due to most players have incomplete pre-draft testing profiles. Could and should the Steelers select a punter this year during the draft? Alex and I attempt to answer that question later in this show and as part of that, we look at the top punter in this draft class.

April 10, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 118 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, which was recorded late Thursday night, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the recent pre-draft visitors that the team hosted. That means that we fully discuss three draft prospects in WR Makai Lemon, S Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, and TE Marlin Klein. Alex and I also go over the 16 prospects that are scheduled to attend the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh in two weeks. After going over that list of players, we note a few interesting things concerning a few of those players along with the positions represented. After the pre-draft visitor and draft attendee discussions, Alex and I discuss the recent post I wrote concerning the plausibility of the Steelers trading up in the first round with the Dallas Cowboys. We go over whether the Steelers could, should or would trade ILB Patrick Queen to the Cowboys to move up to 12th overall in the first round to select either OG Olaivavega Ioane or possibly even Lemon. We discuss what might need to happen in the first 11 picks of the 2026 NFL Draft before the Cowboys might consider trading out of the 12th over position and how conversations with the Steelers, and possibly even Queen, would likely need to happen before the first round gets underway. We also discuss why the Steelers might be open to trading Queen and why they also might not be interested in dealing him. Later in the show, Alex discusses his thoughts on the Steelers possibly trading down in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft with the Buffalo Bills.

April 8, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 117 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers starting phase one of their offseason program on Tuesday and how it seems like the team has strong attendance when it comes to their veteran players. We go over several players who we spotted in pictures on Tuesday. The Steelers continue to bring in pre-draft visitors this week and so Alex and I go over the six players that have visited Pittsburgh through Wednesday morning. That list of players includes WR Denzel Boston, DL Darrell Jackson Jr., LB Jaden Dugger, WR Skyler Bell, S Jakobe Thomas, and LB Jack Kelly. We also discuss how the team has yet to bring in more sure-fire first-round prospects as of Wednesday. On the heels of Peter Schrager of ESPN releasing his first mock draft of 2026 on Tuesday, Alex and I discuss his curious selection of EDGE T.J. Parker at 21st overall. We both explain how we don't see the Steelers selecting an edge rusher until at least day-three of the draft. Dane Brugler of The Athletic released his annual draft guide on Wednesday morning so Alex and I start clawing our way through that large publication. We go over players ranked in Brugler's top 30 that could potentially be the Steelers first-round selection this year. We also give more thought to Pittsburgh potentially drafting a tackle in the first round this year. Are the Baltimore Ravens destined to select OG Olaivavega Ioane with their first-round pick this year? Alex and I go over Baltimore's biggest positional needs ahead of this year's draft and how guard or wide receiver seem to be high.
