The Depot Dive - Episode 95 - March 27, 2026

In this episode of The Depot Dive, Ross McCorkle and Joe Clark dive into three major Steelers topics: Ross's latest mock draft, Bob McGinn's anonymous scout rankings of the wide receiver class, and the latest developments on the Steelers' quarterback situation. Ross presents a 12-pick mock draft without trades, emphasizing need-based selections with a strong focus on tight ends, return specialists, and defensive depth. Joe offers constructive feedback, praising the overall strategy but suggesting a quarterback flyer in the third or fourth round and a potential offensive tackle. The discussion shifts to McGinn’s GoLong scouting series, which downplays the 2026 receiver class, calling top prospects 'just guys' and questioning their first-round viability—contrary to widespread mock draft consensus. Ross and Joe debate whether the Steelers should target a versatile, slot-friendly receiver like Casey Concepcion or pursue a developmental project. Finally, they analyze a report that the Steelers inquired about Kirk Cousins last year and may now consider him as a backup plan if Aaron Rodgers doesn't return. While acknowledging Cousins' experience and mentorship value, both express a preference for developing Will Howard as a cleaner path forward, though they admit Cousins could improve playoff chances in 2026. The episode ends with a call for listener engagement and a preview of upcoming small school prospect coverage.
