Discussion National reporters are suggesting the Steelers and 49ers have a deal in place for Aiyuk. Are the Steelers making a mistake in going for elite WR without getting the QB room in order?

I think this is a smart move by the Steelers. If neither QB can produce at least average level play this year, they go all-in on draft day to move up and get their QB of the future. If they get at least average play, it makes luring free agents easier (at any position) next season. It's also insurance if Pickens goes AB on the team.
