As the NFL Draft draws nearer, the Pittsburgh Steelers still lack a definitive plan at the quarterback position.
The assumption is Aaron Rodgers will sign with the team in the coming days (or weeks), but the veteran quarterback is playing the long game without an answer, leaving many fans to believe Pittsburgh will draft a passer in a few weeks. That begs the question: At what point is drafting a quarterback worth the risk?
