Steelers go quarterback in PFF's way-too-early 2027 NFL mock draft

Pro Football Focus has released a new way-too-early 2027 NFL mock draft, and the Pittsburgh Steelers were predicted to select a quarterback within the top 10. In the new mock draft created by PFF's Daire Carragher, the Steelers selected Brendan Sorsby with the No. 8 overall pick.

"There is a strong possibility that four quarterbacks go in the top 10 next season, heightened by the fact that none of the obvious quarterback-needy teams selected Ty Simpson this year. Sorsby could be one of several quarterbacks to emerge in 2026, and the Steelers are among the teams in search of a franchise option," Carragher wrote. "Teams will value his decision-making and composure under pressure — he took just seven sacks on 114 pressures last season at Cincinnati.

" While Sorsby would be a terrific pickup, it's difficult to imagine the Steelers heavily targeting a quarterback in 2027 over other positional needs, especially when the team is seemingly committed to Will Howard and Drew Allar's development.
