NFL draft analyst Todd McShay forecasts that the Pittsburgh Steelers will select a quarterback with one of their three third-round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft. He named prospects such as Carson Beck, Garrett Nussmeier and Cole Payton as possibilities. McShay advised the team to take swings at the position amid their ongoing need.
The Pittsburgh Steelers face a clear need at quarterback entering the first year under new head coach Mike McCarthy. McShay highlighted the third round as an ideal spot for the team, given their three picks there. 'That’s a great spot for Pittsburgh, [Omar] Khan, Andy Weidl and the guys,' McShay said on a podcast. 'I think one of those would be a quarterback, whether it’s a Carson Beck or a [Garrett] Nussmeier or someone like that or a Cole Payton.'
