NFL Draft: Plenty of depth at quarterback and defensive line

Will Rogers and Kevin Colbert can be compared: The great humorist never met a man he didn't like, the Steelers director of football operations never met an NFL draft he didn't like. And Colbert adheres to a bit of Rogers' wisdom: "Never miss a good chance to shut up."

Colbert is liking the 2011 draft class, even though the Steelers are way down there at No. 31 in each of the seven rounds. But he won't talk about the players available.

The only prospect he has mentioned is Florida guard-center Mike Pouncey, calling him "identical" to twin brother Maurkice Pouncey, the Steelers center. The closest Colbert will come to sharing his analysis of this week's draft is to identify its strengths:
