Despite appearances, some mock drafts still suggest the Steelers may take a quarterback in the first round. Most of these mock drafts tend to be from national writers, as local beat writers will insist.

The Ole Miss quarterback led his conference or all of the FBS last year in completion percentage, passing yards, yards per attempt, and quarterback rating. Dart certainly has talent, but is he worth a first-round pick, as trends indicate?
