The Pittsburgh Steelers certainty did a lot of work this offseason when it comes to them studying the 2022 quarterback draft class and because of that, you will be hard-pressed to find many major media draftniks mocking a non-quarterback to them in the first round. Even the odds-makers have the Steelers as heavy favorites to draft a quarterback at the end of this week.
A quarterback is currently -150 (2/3) odds favorite to be selected by the Steelers in the 2022 NFL Draft, according to oddsmakers at BetOnline. That’s not a bit surprising overall.
On Monday, Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert and head coach Mike Tomlin both spoke about scouting the 2022 quarterback draft class during their annual press conference and a lot of those comments continue to lead to speculation that the team will select a quarterback in the first round, which would mark the first time the team has done so since taking Ben Roethlisberger 11th overall in the 2004 NFL Draft.
