Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, is joined by Tony Serino of the AFC North Talk show.

When the Pittsburgh Steelers chose DeMarvin Leal in the NFL Draft, they added a unique defensive lineman who can help inside and outside. But that shouldn't be considered an indicator for where they see Stephon Tuitt in their future. Tuitt's injury history and potential return is a concern, but Leal's athletic profile shows he'll require a lot of work if he's going to be an interior defensive line option that will need him to gain weight, improve his strength and technique in run defense. That might mean he's part of a long term plan, but not a short term one to replace Tuitt.

Also, Kenny Pickett's being drafted makes for an interesting quarterback battle with Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph. But does Pickett need to be the day 1 starter? Or will Trubisky need to be the starter that Pickett learns under. And should the Steelers trade or release Rudolph if he finishes third in the QB competition?

Finally, who are the Steelers' Undrafted Free Agents? And why is Mataeo Durant a sneaky favorite of the group to become a usable backup running back?
