The Pittsburgh Steelers need a long-term answer at quarterback. But in a 2026 draft class without many options, the team won’t force the pick and make the same mistake it did with Kenny Pickett. Per the PPG’s Gerry Dulac, the Steelers have no intention of using the 21st overall pick on a QB. Instead, the team will wait until the later rounds.
“The Steelers have little if no intention of taking a quarterback with their top pick because they think there is only one — Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza — worthy of going in the first round,” Dulac wrote in a Monday morning article.
