Though the decade isn’t even to its halfway point, every NFL team has made a mistake. Some bigger than others. ESPN’s Bill Barnwell spelled out the biggest blunder each franchise has made since 2020. For the Pittsburgh Steelers, the choice is obvious. Selecting QB Kenny Pickett 20th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft.
“Any team that drafts a quarterback in Round 1 hopes it has found its guy for the next decade. It didn’t quite go that way in Pittsburgh, where Pickett made 24 starts over two seasons. The Steelers gave up on him after last season, trading him to the Eagles for a swap of third- and fourth-round picks and a pair of seventh-rounders.
