Hail to the Chief
So the Steelers moved up in the third round to draft Oklahoma State quarterback Mason Rudolph.
Ben Roethlisberger is reportedly interested in playing another 2 to 3 years, so did the Steelers draft him to be the heir apparent and under study?
After their drafting Joshua Dobbs in the fourth round last year it would appear that Landry Jones may be the odd man out and the Steelers backup pecking order.
Randy Fitchner and Ben Roethlisberger both tend to agree that competition in the quarterbacks room makes everybody better.
Some prognosticators thought that Mason Rudolph could be a late first-round pick, but carried risk as a quarterback who played in a spread offense.
Rudolph has all the measurables as well as extensive game tape and success at a power 5 school. He presented a great value to the Steelers in the third round. To those folks who wanted the Steelers to draft players who can help them win the Super Bowl now that pick could represent a disappointment. For those who are happy to see the Steelers be competitive over the long-haul, however it's a good strategic move.
What are your thoughts regarding Mason Rudolph's long-term prospects?
