The Pittsburgh Steelers passed on QB Shedeur Sanders 21st overall, and some in the national media are beside themselves. While few in the local media ever bought into the notion of their taking a quarterback in the first round, their particular situation fueled that belief in the broader sports media world.
As we found out on Thursday night, they were wrong. With Shedeur Sanders sitting there, the Steelers selected DL Derrick Harmon. QB Jaxson Dart was also available, for whom the New York Giants later traded up to draft. So despite the extensive homework they did on this quarterback class, they have decided to wait.
