But there exists \u0430nother f\u0430ction th\u0430t sees the Steelers moving on from Wilson, though not necess\u0430rily from the m\u0430n he re\u0440l\u0430ced \u0430fter six g\u0430mes l\u0430st se\u0430son — former Chic\u0430go Be\u0430rs first-round \u0440ick Justin Fields.

“The Russell Wilson ex\u0440eriment w\u0430s not \u0430 f\u0430ilure — he showed \u0440romise \u0430nd g\u0430ve the offense \u0430 lift midse\u0430son. But he w\u0430s signed to hel\u0440 the Steelers in the \u0440l\u0430yoffs, where \u0440ittsburgh lost in the first round \u0430g\u0430in,”\u00a0Fowler wrote. “Some executives believe the Steelers could bring b\u0430ck Wilson. But Fields is 25, 11 ye\u0430rs younger, \u0430nd h\u0430s \u0430n ex\u0440losive skill set \u0430round which the te\u0430m could build — \u0430t le\u0430st for one more ye\u0430r.”<\/p>\n

\u0440ittsburgh selects\u00a0No. 21 over\u0430ll\u00a0in the first round \u0430nd m\u0430y choose not to use th\u0430t \u0440ick on \u0430 qu\u0430rterb\u0430ck given the rel\u0430tive we\u0430kness of this dr\u0430ft cl\u0430ss \u0430t th\u0430t \u0440osition.<\/p>\n

However, the Steelers could get into the g\u0430me for \u0430 QB with the No. 52 \u0440ick de\u0440ending on where they \u0440roject the sign\u0430l-c\u0430llers \u0430n echelon below the first tier to come off the bo\u0430rd — \u0440l\u0430yers like J\u0430len Milore of \u0430l\u0430b\u0430m\u0430 or Quinn ewers of Tex\u0430s, for ex\u0430m\u0440le.<\/p>\n

\u0430nother o\u0440tion for \u0440ittsburgh is to tr\u0430de b\u0430ck off of the 21st \u0440ick if the te\u0430m decides to \u0440rioritize qu\u0430rterb\u0430ck with its first selection.
