It was a long path to get there, but the Pittsburgh Steelers did manage to come out of the 2022 NFL Draft with the four quarterbacks they were hoping to have—in terms of positional numbers—later on this Summer, after using first- and seventh-round draft picks to add arms to that all-important room.
But don’t assume the first-round pick, Kenny Pickett, is going to start. That’s because the Steelers already addressed the quarterback position in free agency with Mitch Trubisky. In the wake of Ben Roethlisberger’s retirement, Trubisky is the quarterback Chris Simms sees as starting in 2022.
He talked about that as he continued his breakdown of the top 40 quarterbacks in the league for the 2022 season, ranking Trubisky at 27 (he had Pickett at 39, as a reminder).
