Today, it's whether the Steelers properly value the wide receiver position.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's what appears to be a confusing top of the 2026 NFL Draft class. With several of the top prospects at non-traditional position for early in the first round, it's shaping up to be a tough draft class to project, and that means it's going to be tough for the Steelers to have a good idea of who might be available to them at No. 21 overall.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's a look back at what we learned over a week at the 2026 NFL Combine -- and the biggest takeaway might be that despite a new coach, a ton of free agents, lots of cap space and draft picks, it might not be an offseason of major change when it comes to the makeup of the Steelers starting lineup.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the third day of prospect interviews at the 2026 NFL Combine, which continued on Friday morning with quarterbacks and wide receivers. The Steelers did use four of their 45 formal interviews at the quarterback position, with Ty Simpson, Drew Allar, Garrett Nussmeier and Carson Beck all getting formals. But it was the wide receiver position that Mike McCarthy and company blitzkrieged, using over a dozen formal visits on that position, which has been one of dire need for the team for several years now.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the second day of prospect interviews at the 2026 NFL Combine, which continued on Thursday morning with safeties and cornerbacks. The Pittsburgh Steelers definitely need so help in the secondary, with just Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr. and DeShon Elliott under contract as starters right now. Furthermore, they don't even seem sure where Ramsey will play after he dressed at outside cornerback, slot and free safety last season. So what should Omar Khan be looking for in the draft?

Today, it's the first day of prospect interviews at the 2026 NFL Combine, which began on Wednesday morning with linebackers.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's a bit of a preview of the 2026 NFL Combine, which starts on Tuesday at Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana, and will feature exactly one first-round option for the Steelers at the quarterback position in Alabama's Ty Simpson. We know Pittsburgh was interested enough in Simpson to scout Alabama at least four times during the 2025 college football season -- but are they still interested, and what do they and the rest of the NFL make of his medical issues and struggles down the stretch run of the 2025 season? That remains a mystery, that might be partially revealed this week. Alan breaks it down. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the idea, put forth by NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah on Thursday, that general manager Omar Khan could trade back in the 2026 NFL Draft. With 12 picks already, that sounds crazy on the surface, but what if, instead of acquiring 2026 draft capital in exchange for moving back, Khan targeted 2027 picks in an effort to rebuild his war chest for a future quarterback trade up? That might make some sense. Alan breaks it down. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's where the team's plans for the 2025 season fell short. General manager Omar Khan again left the team wanting at the wide receiver position, which turned into a near-disaster and has left the cupboard extremely bare entering 2026, while their long-term desire to land a quarterback in the 2026 NFL Draft might have handcuffed them from acquiring a wide receiver -- only for that plan to largely fail, anyway.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the outlook for the 2026 season for the team, where they will have a new coaching staff, but there does not appear to be a much better option than a return from Aaron Rodgers available at quarterback. If Mike McCarthy and Omar Khan decide to run it back with the veteran signal caller, what else can the Black and Gold accomplish in 2026? It's easy to look at what they accomplished in 2025 as a blueprint, when a half-dozen slots on the roster got locked down by younger players. Alan breaks it down. Learn more about your ad choices.
