In sharing his TV appearance on X (formerly Twitter), Wilson furthered his argument in the post’s caption. “The Steelers traded up to No. 10 for LB Devin Bush back in 2019,” Wilson wrote. “They should absolutely consider trading up at least that high for a QB in April. They need to quit leaning into the mistakes — just admit them and move on. “Then get a legit OC (turns out, that’s important too!).”
Wilson isn’t the first NFL pundit to argue the Steelers will be in the quarterback market at draft time. NFL insider Peter King suggested during two December appearances on “The Cook & Joe Show” on 93.7 The Fan that the Steelers could grab a quarterback early in the draft. “I’ll just say this, if Kenny Pickett can’t take [the Steelers drafting a quarterback], then he’s not your guy. He just isn’t your guy,” King said on December 12. “So I wouldn’t shy away from [drafting a quarterback].
King, though, didn’t argue the Steelers have to move up the draft to land a good quarterback prospect. “Look, with as many good quarterbacks as they’re are in this draft, think about this. There’s gonna be one wherever the Steelers pick,” said King. Wilson didn’t get specific about what the Steelers would have to offer to move up to No. 10. But in terms of the draft, the Steelers have helped their cause recently.
