You dont just pick up QBs off the street as a general rule, otherwise the steelers would have been fine between bradshaw and roethlisberger

Exactly......

I agree they should of went after Fitz. As far as Bray, Trade back in the first to acquire an additional 2nd or 3rd. I'd say a extra 3rd so they'll trade with The Rams or Vikings at 22/23.

Depending who's still on the board The Steelers could trade back or out of the 1st with San Fran.

Trade Steelers 1st(17) & 6st(186) for San Fran's two 2nds (34 & 63 )plus 3rd (93).

Or Steelers #17 for Niners 1st #31, 2nd#63, 4th #128 & 5th # 157.

With Miami two 2nds #42 & 54 plus 4TH & 5TH .

Joe Montana was drafted in the 3rd round not the 6th.........

Ops. I meant 3rd.

They were late round picks because scouting QB's is an inaccurate science. Which is my whole point. All great QB's don't have to be first round picks.

I think Montana was a third round pick.

Trent Dilfer - 1 Super Bowl win

Dan Marino - 0 Super Bowl wins.

I would rather not see us use a 2nd round pick on any QB for this year's pool. We need someone like DeAndre Hopkins more than we need Tyler Bray.

I have a tough time thinking QB when we have so many needs. We have Ben but maybe the 'brass' are thinking about his next contract, or lack thereof?

Ben has been injured the last two seasons, maybe the brass are thinking we need a better back up plan. While I think about it can anyone name a season that Ben didn't miss a game or more in the last 5 years ?
