On the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Christopher Carter to discuss the team's seemingly odd approach to its pre-draft visits so far. Why haven't GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy welcomes more top prospects, particularly at positions of need like safety, guard and receiver? Can we still expect names like Dillon Thieneman, Emmauel McNeil-Warren, Jordyn Tyson, Makai Lemon, Vega Ioane and others to make their way through the South Side facility? Or does McCarthy simply place less emphasis on the pre-draft visits than Mike Tomlin's staff tended to?

Our duo tackles those questions, then ponders the fate of the teams' 12 picks for the 2026 NFL draft. Will Khan keep all of them to surround his core of DK Metcalf, T.J.

Post-Gazette Pitt insiders Stephen Thompson and Abby Schnable give their impressions from the second week of the Panthers' spring practices. This show is presented by FanDuel.

Live around 5 p.m. Post-Gazette Steelers insider Paul Zeise ponders what the Steelers should do with linebacker Nick Herbig now that the dust has mostly settled on their NFL free agency moves.

Should GM Omar Khan, coach Mike McCarthy and DC Patrick Graham look to give the four-year veteran a contract extension? Or are outside linebackers already taking up too big a piece of the salary cap with T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith already making big money? Is Herbig a potential building block for the defensive alongside fellow young players like Joey Porter Jr., Payton Wilson, Derrick Harmon, Jack Sawyer and Keeanu Benton? Or could the Steelers find another solid depth rusher within this NFL draft class?

Paul tackles those questions and more.
