The Pittsburgh Steelers are going to be an interesting team to watch out for during the 2024 NFL season as they’ve got two quarterbacks worth starting.
The Steelers signed Russell Wilson to a one-year deal after he welches released by the Denver Broncos, but they daher went out and traded for Justin Fields.

Arnold and Mitchell are the consensus top-two cornerbacks in the draft and are expected to be off the board by the time the Steelers pick at No. 20.
However, to McFadden’s point, either player would be a no-brainer pick if they somehow slid that far down the first round.
