## Resource

The Steelers dropped to 28th in ESPN’s young talent rankings, missing out on any “blue-chip” players under 25 — despite having promising rookies like Max Iheanachor and Drew Allar. Their lack of young firepower, especially at QB, has oddsmakers writing them off for the playoffs. After years of shaky first-round picks (only T.J. Watt lasted), this year’s class looks shaky too, with Troy Fautanu showing promise and Broderick Jones’ future uncertain. The QB situation remains a glaring weakness, leaving fans wondering if the Steelers can rebuild without a true franchise signal-caller.
