Paul Zeise Live: Are Steelers BETTER OFF with playoff loss in 2026? Or first overall NFL draft pick?

Live around 5 p.m., Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise ponders which outcome would be better for the Steelers at the end of the 2026 season. Another playoff loss? Or the first overall pick in the NFL draft? Is one more run with names like Cam Heyward, T.J. Watt and Aaron Rodgers worth chasing? Or would the long-term outlook for younger stars like DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., Joey Porter Jr., Derrick Harmon and others be better is they could add a top choice to their ranks? Would GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy be closer to a Super Bowl victory with another spot in the postseason tournament? Or a chance at a franchise QB in the form of expect top 2027 picks Arch Manning, Dante Moore and Jayden Maiava? Paul tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
