The NFL Draft is less than two weeks away, which means teams should be pretty certain by now on what position they're looking to draft. The Pittsburgh Steelers are adamant about not needing to draft a quarterback April 23rd-25th.
Just about everyone in the organization including head coach Mike Tomlin, President Art Rooney II, and general manager Kevin Colbert, have expressed their support with having Mason Rudolph in the number two spot.
It's up in the air if we could see Rudolph struggle as he did towards the end of the season, letting Devlin "Duck" Hodges take over. It's an interesting question- who would you want to see behind Ben Roethlisberger?
Realistically, it'll probably be Devlin Hodges, Paxton Lynch and J.T. Barrett competing for the third spot.
It's obvious there are bigger positions that need filled. With only one pick with the first 100, the Steelers should be thinking of filling wide receiver and running back spots.
But according to some mock drafts, Jalen Hurts seems to still be on the board as the team’s compensatory pick approaches at 102 overall. Could you see the Steelers passing him up?
“You’ve got to have a (team that) can actually look at him and say, ‘You know what? Maybe he’s the future. Maybe he’s a starter down the road,” ESPN analyst Todd McShay said. “ ‘But we have to use him correctly to get value from him.’ ”
QB @JalenHurts handled adversity the right way.

So let's talk about it, Steeler Nation. What would you want the organization to do? Knowing that the team hasn't made the playoffs the last two years, what's the biggest position they need to focus on? Would you pass up on Hurts? Let us know what you think in the comments section below!
