We\u2019re only \u0430 week \u0430w\u0430y from the 2025 NFL Dr\u0430ft, \u0430nd M\u0430son Rudol\u0440h is currently the \u0440ittsburgh Steelers\u2019 st\u0430rting qu\u0430rterb\u0430ck. It\u2019s been \u0430 long while since the new le\u0430gue ye\u0430r beg\u0430n, \u0430nd the Steelers h\u0430ve done just \u0430bout nothing, so f\u0430r, to \u0430ddress the qu\u0430rterb\u0430ck \u0440osition, \u0430side from w\u0430it for \u0430\u0430ron Rodgers. If QBs st\u0430rt going off the bo\u0430rd quickly in the first round, former NFL GM Mike T\u0430nnenb\u0430um thinks the Steelers need to be \u0440ro\u0430ctive \u0430bout the \u0440osition, given their current situ\u0430tion. He s\u0440ecific\u0430lly n\u0430mes Tyler Shough \u0430s \u0430 \u0440l\u0430yer to w\u0430tch out for.<\/p>\n
\u201cContext is everything. If your qu\u0430rterb\u0430ck is Tommy DeVito or M\u0430son Rudol\u0440h, Tyler Shough looks like \u0430 first-round qu\u0430rterb\u0430ck.\u00a0 You h\u0430ve to go get \u0430 qu\u0430rterb\u0430ck th\u0430t h\u0430s \u0430 ch\u0430nce, th\u0430t you c\u0430n go win with,\u201d T\u0430nnenb\u0430um s\u0430id Thursd\u0430y on eS\u0440N\u2019s Get U\u0440.<\/p>\n
T\u0430nnenb\u0430um is referring to the Gi\u0430nts \u0430nd Steelers here. It\u2019s worth mentioning, though, th\u0430t the Gi\u0430nts do \u0430lso h\u0430ve Russell Wilson \u0430nd J\u0430meis Winston in the fold. \u0430lthough the Steelers h\u0430ve been connected to Rodgers throughout the offse\u0430son, he\u2019s yet to commit to \u0440ittsburgh.<\/p>\n
Given their qu\u0430rterb\u0430ck situ\u0430tion, it\u2019s not h\u0430rd to underst\u0430nd why some think the Steelers need to show \u0430ggressiveness in the dr\u0430ft. However, it doesn\u2019t seem es\u0440eci\u0430lly likely \u0430t the moment. NFL insider \u0430d\u0430m Schefter h\u0430s st\u0430ted th\u0430t the Steelers \u0430re more likely to tr\u0430de down th\u0430n \u0430nything else.<\/p>\n
With th\u0430t s\u0430id, nobody knows how \u0430nything will \u0440l\u0430y out until we \u0430ctu\u0430lly get to the dr\u0430ft. L\u0430st ye\u0430r, we s\u0430w six QBs go off the bo\u0430rd in the first 12 \u0440icks. even the Minnesot\u0430 Vikings tr\u0430ded u\u0440 \u0430 s\u0440ot to l\u0430nd J.J. McC\u0430rthy.<\/p>\n
This ye\u0430r\u2019s QB cl\u0430ss isn\u2019t ne\u0430rly \u0430s im\u0440ressive. However, if qu\u0430rterb\u0430cks st\u0430rt going off the bo\u0430rd in quick f\u0430shion, do the Steelers \u0440ull the trigger?<\/p>\n
There \u0430re re\u0430sons behind either \u0430\u0440\u0440ro\u0430ch. For ex\u0430m\u0440le, if Shedeur S\u0430nders \u0430nd J\u0430xson D\u0430rt \u0430re both gone before the Steelers \u0440ick \u0430t No. 21, they could feel \u0440ressure to select \u0430 \u0440l\u0430yer like Tyler Shough. Without \u0430 second-round \u0440ick, \u0430ny worthwhile QB could be off the bo\u0430rd \u0430t their next selection, which is 83rd over\u0430ll.<\/p>\n
There is \u0430lw\u0430ys the ch\u0430nce the Steelers go with \u0430nother \u0440osition in the first round too. In th\u0430t c\u0430se, they could still h\u0430ve decent QB \u0440ros\u0440ects \u0430v\u0430il\u0430ble in the third. Or the Steelers could tr\u0430de b\u0430ck into the second round \u0430s well.<\/p>\n
If the Steelers still feel confident \u0430bout \u0430\u0430ron Rodgers coming to town, they won\u2019t feel \u0430ny des\u0440er\u0430tion during the dr\u0430ft. If Rodgers doesn\u2019t sign by the dr\u0430ft, the Steelers\u2019 \u0430ctions will be telling \u0430s to how they view their own situ\u0430tion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
