Steelers free agency: Is Kyler Murray worth considering after Russell Wilson experience?

from Post-Gazette Sports Network: Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and more · host Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Christopher Carter to talk through reports that the Arizona Cardinals plan to release QB Kyler Murray unless a trade for him can be found before NFL free agency next week. Should the Steelers be interested in Murray? Or would the move be too similar to the one they made for Russell Wilson a couple of years ago? Is Murray the better QB than Aaron Rodgers at this stage of his career? Or does Rodgers still have the edge even at 42? And would Murray have been a better fit with the Mike Tomlin and Arthur Smith offensive staff than he is with Mike McCarthy's? Our duo tackles those questions, then sorts through Chris's 32-round mock draft published on Post-Gazette.com this week. Why did he go with Ohio State DL Kayden McDonald for the Steelers when most of the industry is pointing toward receiver as the biggest first-round need? How does McDonald compare as a prospect to names like Carnell Tate, Makai Lemon, Jordyn Tyson and Denzel Boston? How would he fit alongside existing defensive line options like Cam Heyward, Yahya Black, Keeanu Benton and Derrick Harmon? Are any of those receivers worth potentially trading up to acquire for GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy as they look for a playmaking answer across from DK Metcalf? And could the Steelers potentially be just as happy with lower rated receiver prospects like Malachi Fields and Omar Cooper Jr. in later rounds after swiping McDonald in the first? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
