Steelers' Chances to Trade for Justin Fields a Longshot | Draft Needs Fit Deep Class at Right Spots

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers continue to have rumors out that they're interested in a Justin Fields trade with the Chicago Bears. But Chris Carter says something doesn't add up. The Bears will want too much NFL Draft capital for what the Steelers' draft needs require to keep building the roster, and Fields' contract doesn't lend itself to being an advantageous situation for Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan. Chris Carter explains what kind of a trade would make the most sense for the Steelers, and why the Bears probably won't take it.

Also, Chris Carter digs into his contributions to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's first NFL Draft Big Board, and why several positions in the NFL Draft fit the Steelers' needs with great and good prospects at center, offensive tackle, defensive line, linebacker, cornerback and safety. But which players fit the right rounds?
