Last offseason, the top priority of the Pittsburgh Steelers was to improve the quarterback depth chart. But despite swapping out all three quarterbacks, the results were the same. 10-7, an inconsistent passing game and one and done in the playoffs.

This means this offseason, the quarterback position is once again the team’s top priority. We have plenty of time to go over a variety of scenarios the Steelers could partake in this offseason but the hypothetical offered up by Fox Sports analyst Colin Cowherd.

To be fair to Cowherd, he did say he’d make the trade of T.J. Watt, George Pickens and a pair of first-round picks to go up for Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders only if the Steelers felt like he was a starting quarterback.

“I would trade T.J. Watt, George Pickens, two first rounders and go get Shedeur Sanders if you think he’s a starting QB.”

First off, no one is trading a haul like that for Sanders. That’s not even a discussion. But if there were a quarterback worth that sort of trade, I would want something stronger than “if you think he’s a starting QB” to pull the trigger on it.
