If the Pittsburgh steelers were to play a game just before the NFL draft start, Mason Rudolph would have been their starting quarter. It is not ideal.
And despite having little idea which is their quarter-arre of the present or the future, the Steelers have transmitted Sheder Sanders.

Sanders, who months ago was considered a possibility of spending first in the draft of the NFL, experienced a large fall. The Saints of New Orleans transmitted it with the ninth choice, then the Steelers transmitted it to No. 21. Instead, they took the defensive platform of the Oregon Ducks, Derrick Harmon. It let everyone wonder what the Steelers will do in the quarter-Arrière and where Sanders could fall. What made the Steelers pass even more shocking Sanders is that they have no choice of second round to take a quarter. They exchanged this in Seattle for the DK Metcalf receiver.
Harmon should be a solid player on a good defense of the Steelers. But the decision to take it more than a quarter was still a little surprising.
The saints and steelers have frightening and thin quarter situations. The two teams transmitting Sanders and Jaxson Dart in the first round says a lot about what the NFL has thought of this quarter-Arrière class beyond Cam Ward. For a long time, the NFL had given vibrations that she did not like any of the quarters at the start of the draft other than Ward, and this materialized in the first round.
The Steelers could still sign Aaron Rodgers, trade against Kirk Cousins or choose a quarterly later in the draft. But clearly, they did not think that Sanders or Dart were worth a first round choice.

Sanders was a division figure in the project. There were a lot of anonymous quotes from NFL sources that cried too much towards him. There were valid concerns about his size, his arm strength and athletics and if that would prevent him from being a quarter of a franchise.
Whatever the reason, Sanders had a drop in draft which would have been considered almost impossible a few months ago.
