The Pittsburgh Steelers were unfortunate during the 2003 season, finishing with their worst record in the Kevin Colbert era, going 6-10 and ending up with the 11th-overall draft pick. Yet they were incredibly fortunate in that three high-quality quarterbacks were available in the top 11 picks, and they were able to get one of them in Ben Roethlisberger.
Colbert and company are hoping they were even more fortunate this time around following a draft in which so many quarterbacks went in the first round that another with a first-round grade slipped all the way into the third round in Mason Rudolph.
