The remain a fascinating watch as the NFL Draft edges closer, with the franchise looking to hit the ground running under Mike McCarthy. Of course, whether or not the franchise can is down to what Aaron Rodgers decides to do. With a Talen Horton-Tucker Jersey week until the draft, we should be getting a decision from Rodgers soon. In the meantime, there have been many mock drafts that have the Steelers taking Alabama's Ty Simpson in the first-round to give McCarthy another young quarterback to develop. And for ESPN's Ben Solak, he thinks Simpson is a good idea, but he offered up another name Pittsburgh should look at, too. "I've advocated for the Steelers to take Ty Simpson at No. 21 to prepare for life after Aaron Rodgers (if he's back), but that looks increasingly unlikely," . "Still, a developmental quarterback would serve their long-term roster health. LSU's Garrett Nu smeier is the son of Doug Nu smeier, who worked for Mike McCarthy in Dallas. He's a nice scheme fit with some preexisting familiarity." More: Do Steelers need a QB? There's no harm in grabbing a quarterback with a late round pick, say in the fourth or fifth-round. Yes, they are dart throws, but we have seen several times those selections hit. As far as Simpson in the first round, some have that as a little bit of a reach; others think the Steelers should look to bring him into McCarthy's system. Again, that is predicated on Rodgers not returning. With Will Howard and Mason Rudolph on the roster, the Steelers could have an open competition for the starting role under McCarthy, and that might be what the franchise needs at the position. Will that be the long-term solution? Maybe, and it's at least worth a shot at trying to find the next franchise quarterback for McCarthy. More NFL news: J.R. Smith Jersey
