General manager Kevin Colbert acknowledged how much time he and coach Mike Tomlin have spent evaluating quarterbacks in preparation for the NFL draft, probably more so than at any time for any other position in their tenure. He even said the Steelers scouted college games in the fall with that intent.
And why not?
Colbert called it "the most critical position in our sport." Tomlin said it's "the ultimate competitor's position." And the Steelers want to make sure they have properly and thoroughly evaluated the position that, for the first time in 18 years, will be devoid of their future Hall of Fame quarterback.
