Steelers' Three NFL Draft Options at QB

The Pittsburgh Steelers will likely add another name to their quarterback room through the NFL Draft. After signing Russell Wilson and trading for Justin Fields, the team is looking for the final piece of their roster, and have three names in this year's class that are likely on their radar. 

Joe Milton

Word at the NFL Combine was that the Steelers had an interest in late-round option Joe Milton. The Tennessee star brings a huge arm but limited expectations to the NFL. At best, he turns into a starting-caliber quarterback after a few years of development, viewed as the next late-round passer to emerge in the league. 

Realistically, though, he's a backup and maybe a long-term one in Pittsburgh. 

Without having to reach for him, the Steelers could likely use of their sixth-round picks on Milton and make him the third quarterback on the roster. Chances are this is their top option when it comes to NFL Draft prospects. 

Spencer Rattler

Whenever you impress down in Mobile, Alabama, you're on the Steelers' radar. Spencer Rattler was the most impressive passer at the Senior Bowl, and with Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan in attendance, you have to imagine he's now an option for Pittsburgh. 

After putting himself on the map with a big year at Oklahoma in 2020, Rattler didn't do too much to increase his draft stock over the last three seasons. Now, he's viewed as a mid-round pick with unknown upside. 

The Steelers could view Rattler as a fourth-round pick that they can try to groom over time. Limited expectations and much-needed depth. 

Jordan Travis

Jordan Travis might fall into the Steelers' lap in the fourth round of the NFL Draft due to his limited exposure during the draft process. Unlike Milton and Rattler, there isn't a direct connection between him and Pittsburgh, but his upside might be higher than both for the same price tag. 

Travis was set to carry his team to the College Football Playoff and possibly land himself on the Heisman Finalist list. A leg injury ended both of those, but teams will try to focus on his play beforehand while also ensuring he's healthy post-injury. 

If the Steelers put him on their radar, they'll check his medicals and move forward. If he's there in the fourth round, he's an option.
