Steelers Eyeing Carson Beck in the Draft?

The Pittsburgh Steelers could be targeting Miami quarterback Carson Beck in this week's NFL Draft, according to Mike DeFabo of The Athletic. Beck took a pre-draft visit with the Steelers. The same can be said for Penn State's Drew Allar, but not Alabama's Ty Simpson. DeFabo notes that while Simpson has been heavily linked to the Steelers by the media, the team may be dissuaded by his limited track record in college. That's where Beck makes more sense, as he was a three-year starter in the NCAA and has significant experience playing in big games. DeFabo speculates that Beck checks every box for the Steelers, while the other two do not. Pittsburgh doesn't want to reach for Beck, but it sounds like he'll absolutely be an option for them if he's still available in the middle rounds. The Steelers' draft plans likely don't hinge too much on the status of quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who is a candidate to re-sign but currently remains a free agent.
