Steelers NFL draft reaction: Will Drew Allar be Mike McCarthy's guy? Or just another backup?

On the Tuesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to react to the team's selection of Penn State QB Drew Allar in the third round of the NFL draft. Did GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy signal intent to use Allar as a starter by visiting with him both at the NFL combine and in Pittsburgh before selecting him at No. 76 overall with the first of three third-round picks? Or is he destined to be a career backup behind Aaron Rodgers, Mason Rudolph, Will Howard or someone else? And was he really the third best QB in this draft behind Fernando Mendonza and Ty Simpson, but ahead of names like Cade Klubnik, Taylen Green and Garrett Nussmeier? How how is the perception of his selection being impacted by other perceived development projects like Max Iheanachor? Our duo tackles those questions; ponders the long-term viability of late-round draft picks like Gabe Rubio, Robert Spears-Jennings and Eli Heidenreich; and analyze the undrafted free agent class that so far includes names like Devan Boykin, Chamon Metayer, Kevin Jobity Jr. and Lake McRee.
