onkyoreceiver Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 What are people's thoughts about Rudolph going to the Steelers in the 3rd round? Steelers have a habit of drafting well, particularly for fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runyon27 Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 The prior 2 QBs Landry Jones and Josh Dobbs are nothing special, I expect Rudolph to be more of the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Oven Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Good backup/fringe starter IMO... Probably not the eventual starter to replace Ben, and if he is, this could be what we need for the Steelers to become an also-ran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickers Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 I liked him.. I had a feeling the Stools would nab him... But like all the QB's in this draft.. There are questions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His college statistics were every bit as good as any other quarterback in this draft. However some felt that his arm may not have been as strong. But next to Mayfield he was the most accurate. Nevertheless at this point I do hope he is a complete failure as some of you all predict Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 I wasn't happy when I saw them draft him. It seems like a good fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StinkHole Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 They traded up to get him...."too good of a talent to pass up" according to Tomlin. Add to this amazing pick is the fact that Steelers selected a stud wide receiver as well...Mason's teammate James Washington.

Dutch Oven Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 This isn't wishful thinking... I honestly do not worry about the Ravens and Steelers adding Lamar Jackson and Mason Rudolph. Honestly, I hope both teams just drafted their QBs of the future. Realistically, I think Baltimore thinks they did. I think Pittsburgh thinks they've upgraded from Landry Jones and Josh Dobbs... and maybe if they get lucky Rudolph could be even more for them.

He's the #1 outlier. Otherwise, about the 5-6th best qb this year, depending on who you were asking. Maybe the Steelers will get hit by lightning and find their next Joe Montana third round special, but the odds are better you drafted the next Colt McCoy or Cody Kessler.

This was a draft rich in QB's. Had it not been so, Rudolph would have been projected a 1st rounder, a second round projection at worst....that not coming from me but from what I read and I believe it. No way on earth Tomlin and Colbert would have traded up to get this guy if they felt the odds that Rudolph was gonna be a McCoy or Kessler...they already have a McCoy and Kessler! Besides, he's a big dude at 6'5" 229... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean he can't or wont succeed, but don't view this guy as Ben's eventual replacement- yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onkyoreceiver Posted April 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 So question then regarding the idea of Rudolph being a "Big Ben Clone." What knocks or reservations were there - if any - regarding Big Ben's game when he was drafted? How do those compare to the (perceived/real) knocks on Rudolph's game?

I certainly didn't believe we were going to draft a qb. However the steelers had a first round grade on him. They sure as hell didn't with Dobbs or Jones and no one, I repeat no one talked about Dobbs or Jones like they have talked about Rudolph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 "May be the best"? Sure, but the odds are not good. That said at the price of a third... might as well take a shot. More importantly I think since Rudolph did not even go in the 2nd, Gip should take everyone to lunch who considered any kind of Rudolph related bet with him... ... and have to wear a Steeler throwback jersey to boot.
