The Pittsburgh Steelers surprised many people when they didn’t take a quarterback in the first round of the draft. They had their pick of the litter, too, outside of Cam Ward. Shedeur Sanders, Jaxson Dart, and Tyler Shough were all on the board at 21. The Steelers brought all of those players in for top-30 visits. Despite interest being there, Pittsburgh selected defensive lineman Derrick Harmon. Former NFL quarterback Matt Leinart likes that pick, but he’s still confused why they didn’t take a quarterback.
“It’s a really good pick, but at 21, Shedeur was there, Jaxson Dart was there,” Leinart said Friday on his Throwbacks Show podcast.
