INDIANAPOLIS – Ben Roethlisberger’s stated desire to play at least three more years does not mean the Steelers won’t evaluate the quarterbacks in this year’s NFL draft, general manager Kevin Colbert said.
This is considered a deep draft for quarterbacks, with anywhere from five to six projected to go in the first round.
“We go through the evaluation process the same every year,” Colbert said at the NFL combine. “We are going to evaluate players that we might not draft because we have to stack the draft board accordingly. [Ben] saying that, when he said it, was a huge emotional lift for me personally, and for the organization.
