Bettis Blueprint: Trade Up for OL, Draft QB

0:00On April 23, the 2026 NFL Draft is underway, and Pittsburgh Steelers legend Jerome Betis just dropped his blueprint for the team. He says trade up in the first round for a top offensive lineman, then snag a quarterback on day two or three to build for the long haul. Betis is cool with the Aaron Rodgers experiment this season, but he wants the Steelers to draft a young quarterback in the third, fourth or fifth round. That way, they develop the guy and avoid the endless quarterback mess year after year. Fans are all over this, pushing hard for the team to move up five or six spots for studs like Guard Vega, Iowa, or Tackle Spencer Fano. Pittsburgh's got the league's most picks at 12, so they've got the ammo to make moves. Betis worries those elite linemen might slip away if they sit tight, especially with so much talent on the board. His plan keeps the line strong now, and sets up the future at quarterback. Steelers GM Omar Khan holds the cards, but Betis made it crystal clear, act bold early, plan smart late, and get out of the quarterback rut for good.
