Speculation and debate on what the Pittsburgh Steelers will do are really heating up as we’re just five days away from the 2022 NFL draft
Getty Mike Tomlin and Kevin Colbert take questions during a press conference. Speculation and debate on what the Pittsburgh Steelers will do are really heating up as we’re just five days away from the 2022 NFL draft (April 28-30). For obvious reasons, all talks since the offseason began have been centered around quarterbacks. Depending on what side of the fence you’re on, quarterback is either an immediate need, a position Pittsburgh can visit late in the draft, or even one that can be delayed until the 2023 NFL draft. Very few mock drafts have the Steelers selecting a non-quarterback position at No.20 next week. While most draft pundits agree Pittsburgh will take a field general with their first overall pick, agreeing on who it will be is an entirely different story. Early in the offseason, Pittsburgh’s own Kenny Pickett was the most-mocked quarterback to the Steelers. Then attention turned to Malik Willis. Suddenly now, it’s Cincinnatti’s Desmond Ridder. There’s no true consensus because these quarterbacks have been tough to evaluate — there isn’t a Trevor Lawrence/No.1 pick among this bunch. ALL the latest Steelers news straight to your inbox!
