On the Friday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Brian Batko react to T.J. Watt's cryptic Instagram post this week and reports from some national sources that contract negotiations with the linebacker may have hit some snags.

Is it too soon in the process for fans to be concerned? Or is there a genuine chance Watt could leave the team that drafted him in 2017? Does Watt deserve to get paid like fellow defensive stars Myles Garrett, Maxx Crosby and Micah Parsons? And should coach Mike Tomlin and GM Omar Khan consider a trade of Watt if they feel an extension can't be reached?

Our duo tackles those topics, then talks about the defensive tackle class in the NFL draft following Oregon star Derrick Harmon's visit this week. When will other top prospects at the position like Kenneth Grant and Walter Nolen make visits to the team?

Then in the third segment, the guys wonder whether the Steelers have brought enough receiver and cornerback prospects to Pittsburgh as they look for answers next to DK Metcalf and George Pickens on offense, plus Joey Porter Jr. and Darius Slay on defense.
