The Last Time Pittsburgh (Sort Of) Drafted Two Quarterbacks

Kevin Colbert did just about everything a GM could do over the course of the 23 NFL Drafts he oversaw as Pittsburgh Steelers GM/de facto GM. He traded up, traded down, took Hall of Famers, took busts, heck, the guy even drafted a long snapper.

About the only thing he hadn’t done on his draft Bingo card was select two quarterbacks in one draft. After 2004, there was never a need to. And any team taking two in one draft, while not unprecedented, is pretty rare. But in his final draft, Colbert grabbed a pair of arms at its beginning and end, selecting Kenny Pickett in the first and Chris Oladokun in the seventh.
