Here We Go, The Steelers Show: How Steelers Defensive Prospects Compare to Pros

In this episode of Here We Go, The Steelers Show, hosts Brian Anthony Davis and KT Smith dive deep into pro comparisons for the Pittsburgh Steelers' defensive draft prospects ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. With the team 16 days from the draft and potentially holding up to 12 picks, the conversation focuses on evaluating interior defensive linemen, edge rushers, inside linebackers, cornerbacks, and safeties. The hosts assess players like Caden McDonald as a potential Dexter Lawrence-type fit for the Steelers' interior line, while expressing skepticism about early edge rusher selections. They highlight promising linebacker prospects such as Nick Bolton and Jacob Rodriguez, and discuss cornerback fits like D'Angelo Pons and Jermod McCoy. Safety prospects are scrutinized, with Caleb Downs deemed a top-tier unicorn unlikely to fall to Pittsburgh, while players like Bud Clark and Zaki Wheatley emerge as late-round fits. The episode also features personal anecdotes, pop culture references, and a heartfelt shout-out to Brian’s nephew Noah, who is working NCAA tournament games. The hosts conclude with a promotion for the Steel Curtain Network’s upcoming draft party in Hagerstown, Maryland.
