Reports suggest the Steelers are interested in a corner at the trade deadline, but do they really need one? It seems like everyone in the secondary is playing pretty well. The Steelers defense as a whole has improved since the season began. Is Patrick Graham unlocking things we haven’t seen in a long time?
Steelers reporter Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray said it’s a ‘slam dunk’ that WR is the Steelers top need going into the trade deadline. Ray listed Brian Thomas Jr. and Josh Downs as the names that make the most sense to him. Ray thinks either one of them would upgrade what the team currently has available. Is the contract for Michael Pittman Jr. as ugly as it seems? Ray said this is a classic ‘bend, don’t break’ defense through 7 games. Is Zach Frazier worth $25M per season or more?

Ray talked about the success of the Steelers run game. Is Alex Highsmith going to be good to go by the time we reach Sunday?
