So yeah, I think they'd probably have to go out and sign a vet.
And hey, listen, if it's really bad news, maybe you would draft a left tackle here at some point in this 2026 draft as well.
No, I wouldn't do that.
Listen, they don't know what's going on, so it's not a need right now.
But listen, Joe, they have 12 draft picks.
If there's a left tackle, maybe they've got five picks in the top 100, three in the third round.
So maybe you do take a shot on a guy at that point just because it is a little bit of an uncertain situation with Broderick.
I don't think at 21, Joe, I think the fact that he was only a one-year starter I think is concerning.
I'm not speaking for the Steelers, but just in NFL personnel circles, usually with quarterbacks, you usually like to have a little bit of an evaluation period than just one year.
On top of that, Simpson wasn't very good late in the season, so I think
I'm not saying he won't be a first-round pick.
Some team might really fall in love with him.
I would just have a hard time seeing the Steelers make that pick, what, four years after they made that mistake with Kenny Pickett.
Yeah, I mean, listen, they sat down with him for an interview, so I think that is notable.
The interesting thing about Aller is he's that big, strong, prototypical quarterback, has the arm.
And whenever you have a guy with traits like that, it's interesting.
But then you turn on the tape and he never performed well in big games.
He was never a consistent player.
How do you sort of get around that?
So I don't think Drew Aller, certainly he's not going to the first round.
