Steelers draft plans, first round quarterbacks, and the success of James Conner

There’s still a subset of fans upset about not drafting Dan Marino. Yes, we’re talking 30-some odd years ago, and only now because for the last five years, they’ve wanted the Steelers to draft a quarterback in the first round to replace Ben Roethlisberger.

As usual, Joe Kuzma hops on the horn to talk (yet again) why first round picks are ill-advised, and to point out why the Steelers have only used a first round pick on quarterbacks twice since selecting Terry Bradshaw in 1970.

Joe also has a brief discussion on taking a running back in the first round, which some fans have now criticized the team for doing in lieu of keeping James Conner. Why that line of thinking is flawed and how worse off the Steelers may have been is also covered in this episode.
