Many analysts are warning teams to wait until next year to draft a quarterback in the first round. If the Pittsburgh Steelers do that, then they should instead spend their first pick this year on an offensive lineman. Some people might call that boring, but that doesn’t make it wrong.
Ben Roethlisberger said that the Steelers should build up the rest of their roster before drafting their next potential franchise quarterback, and I’m inclined to agree. Yes, Roethlisberger was the missing piece for the 2000’s Steelers to become Super Bowl champions. However, the current Steelers aren’t a quarterback away from being contenders.
