On the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Brian Batko analyze the team's 2025 NFL draft class that was finalized last week.

What is the talent ceiling for sixth-round pick Will Howard as a QB? Will he be a career backup type like a Landry Jones or Mason Rudolph? Or can he make a push to be a starter or even a long-term franchise QB? Especially with some time to learn behind Rudolph and potentially Aaron Rodgers as a rookie in 2025?

Later, the guys ponder where first-round pick Derrick Harmon's short-term fit may be along coach Mike Tomlin's defensive line, with Cam Heyward still in the fold alongside younger names like Keeanu Benton and Yahya Black. Is his best spot for immediate playing time the nose tackle spot?

Then in the final segment, our duo analyzes the undrafted free agency class and wonders whether former Iowa S Sebastian Castro could be a potential steal.
