On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast presented by Mike's Beer Bar, host Christopher Carter welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to analyze the latest rumors tying Broncos QB Russell Wilson to Pittsburgh. Do national pundits including Peter King and Chad Johnson right to see him as an upgrade over Kenny Pickett? Or are his years competing seriously for Super Bowls over at age 35?

Later, our duo ponders the fit of NFL draft QB options such as Michigan's J.J. McCarthy, Washington's Michael Penix Jr. and Oregon's Bo Nix with the Steelers' QB room. They also weigh what the Steelers should do if top options at each of their positions of need are available at No. 20 overall. Who's most desirable from the group of Alabama OT JC Latham, Oregon C Jackson Powers-Johnson, Illinois DL Jer'Zhan Newton, Alabama CB Terrion Arnold and Toledo CB Quinyon Mitchell?
