The Steelers are expected to target a later-round quarterback, with Carson Beck, Drew Allar, and Garrett Nussmeier among the names to watch, per Brooke Pryor.
“Based on the Steelers’ predraft meetings and offseason comments from new coach Mike McCarthy and Khan, it seems likely the Steelers will draft a QB regardless of Rodgers’ future or Howard’s trajectory,” Pryor wrote.
“One intriguing option is Miami quarterback Carson Beck, whom the Steelers hosted in a top-30 predraft visit on March 17…Another name to watch is LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier. While the Steelers have yet to host Nussmeier on a predraft visit, McCarthy traveled to Baton Rouge for the signal-caller’s pro day on March 23,” Pryor wrote.
“If the Steelers want to prioritize a cold-weather quarterback, though, they could explore drafting Penn State product Drew Allar. He is also McCarthy’s ideal quarterback prototype at 6-foot-5 with 32¾ arms and hands that span nearly 10 inches. Allar, though, is coming off a season-ending broken ankle that limited him to six games during his senior season.”
