Steelers' Quarterback Gamble: Allar or Nussmeier?

0:00On April 26, Pittsburgh Steelers grabbed Drew Aller's 76 overall in the third round, and fans are scratching their heads over it. This developmental quarterback comes with a high ceiling, but plenty of bust potential, making it feel like a reach when the team needed help elsewhere. Right now. Meanwhile, Garrett Newsmeyer tumbled way down the board from his top projections, sliding past where most expected him. The Steelers could have snagged him in the seventh round instead, saving that early pick to plug a hole on the roster without much risk. Fans and analysts are buzzing with second guessing, pointing to Aller's season ending injury at Penn State, and his shaky play and big college games. Pittsburgh scouted him hard before that setback dropped his stock, but it highlights the gamble on raw upside over proven polish. Newsmeyer bounced back strong at the senior bowl after a tough year at LSU, marred by injuries, which tanked his draptip despite early first round. Buzz. His slide screen's value pick for patient teams willing to bet on recovery. In the end, quarterback Hunts are all about those high-stakes swings, and the Steelers bed big on Aller turning into their franchise guy.
