The Pittsburgh Steelers are poised to make a significant move in the upcoming NFL draft, potentially targeting a quarterback to complement their recent investment in D.K. Metcalf. With uncertainty surrounding Derek Carr's availability for the New Orleans Saints, the Steelers might feel compelled to leapfrog the Saints to secure a top quarterback. Shedeur Sanders and Jaxson Dart are among the names generating buzz. However, with only one pick in the first two rounds, the Steelers face a dilemma, especially if they consider trading George Pickens, who is entering a contract year.

While the Steelers have shown interest in quarterbacks, the complexity of trade negotiations with the Carolina Panthers could hinder their plans unless they offer a compelling package. Given that the Panthers need a wide receiver, offering Pickens could be a strategy worth exploring to ensure they land their quarterback of choice ahead of the Saints.
