‘The Kenny Pickett Route All Over Again?:’ Steelers Hesitantly Paired With QB In New Mock Draft

When you don’t have a quarterback, you search high and low for one. Sometimes, you reach for one. That was the concern in 2022 when outgoing GM Kevin Colbert and the Pittsburgh Steelers organization grabbed Pitt QB Kenny Pickett in the first round. It turned out to be a missed pick in one of the worst quarterback classes of the last 20 years. In hindsight, a reach to fill need over value. The Athletic’s Dane Brugler believes same story could play out. In his latest mock draft, he pairs the Steelers with Alabama QB Ty Simpson but shows his hesitancy in doing so.
