One of the biggest questions that needs to be answered this NFL offseason is what is going on with the Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback position?

With Aaron Rodgers still not making a decision on his future, Will Howard and Mason Rudolph are left in limbo as the entire franchise waits for Aaron's decision.

Having seen other viable veterans be snapped up, now the Steelers' options if Rodgers retires are either to go with Howard or Rudolph. Or draft a quarterback.

Which in Fox Sports' latest mock draft, the franchise does at No. 21, with Ty Simpson being selected.

"Simpson is the clear No. 2 QB in this draft. He's had a mix of incredible games along with some terrible ones, but his decisiveness and accuracy are tools teams can work with," the website wrote.
"He threw for over 3,500 yards, 28 touchdowns and just five interceptions. He also took down a vaunted Oklahoma defense on the road in the first round of the CFP, before sustaining an injury in the quarterfinals against Indiana."

Would Simpson be right move?

The thing is, we have seen varying reports on Simpson.

Some think he isn't a first-round talent, others think he might be, but towards the backend for a team like the Arizona Cardinals or the New York Jets.

But with next year's quarterback draft class reportedly having several top prospects, the Steelers jumping at Simpson here might not be the best course of action.

See what you have in Howard. If it works, you have your guy long-term; if it doesn't, you will likely have a high draft pick to select your next quarterback.

What Pittsburgh does is going to be fascinating, but I'm not sure taking Simpson in the first round is a sound move.
