Steelers get their franchise QB in bye week mock draft update

   

Despite the fact that Russell Wilson and Justin Fields have played well for the Pittsburgh Steelers this season, they are both set to hit free agency after the season is over and it isn’t clear if either guy will be re-signed. So with the Steelers on their bye week, we did a new five-round mock draft update and when a franchise quarterback fell into our lap at pick No. 30, we couldn’t pass him up.
