The Terrible Podcast — Steelers Start Phase One, Pre-Draft Visits, Schrager Mock Draft, Brugler Guide, & More

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. This 90-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
