Report: Steelers Continue To Show Interest In QB Mason Rudolph

[Shoes]

How many quarterbacks will be selected in the first-round of the 2018 NFL Draft and will Oklahoma State’s Mason Rudolphbe one of them? We have a little less than three weeks remaining before we know the answers to those questions but in the meantime, however, Rudolph appears to be a prospect in high demand as the pre-draft process winds down.

Just don't think he'll be there.

The Pats getting that extra first could be the land spot for Rudolph.

Pats biggest need is OL, Charley Casserly has them taking Koltan Miller, OT & Josh Jackson CB

Ugh
For three months now, I’ve had this (sinking) feeling that Rudolph would be the pick.

I hope that the Taperiots take him (but, I’d bet on them drafting Lauletta).

I think if he is there at 28 they will take him.

I've read in a few places the Pats like Mayfield.

Pass. Need a free safety/inside linebacker that can cover/better olb across from TJ Watt/rb depth in round 1, not one of this year's overhyped Big 12 QBs

Seriously. Rudolph is this years overdraft candidate.

He very well may be but Tomlin has eyes for him. I don't the Steeler will move up or down, I expect a Colbert BPA and I'm fine with that.

[Dwinsgames]

Just say NO

Probably... but, that would require a trade up. At 31, Lauletta makes so much sense (to me):
-not the strongest arm, but a very accurate passer
-smart
-small school
-Naval academy
-excelled at the Senior Bowl

He is like a mixture of Brady and Garoppolo.

Steelers have always liked strong armed guys. I just don’t see them taking a guy who can’t hum that 10 yard out to the far hash into a tight window.

Not saying that Lauletta isn’t good. Just wondering if he fits their mold?

Agreed, but RBs can be found later

[Born2Steel]

Rudolph is not worthy of a 1st round pick. He is Dobbs with better size and no escapability. Both have a beautiful deep ball, but really suck at the mid range and short yardage stuff.

[ALLD]

Mason is not a HoF name for QBs. Think about it.

[SteelerFanInStl]

I sure hope not.

[86WARD]

Rudolph is a mid-40s guy to a team like the Cardinals. If the Steelers took him at 28, it would be devastating. I don’t mind them taking a QB, but they need to trade down and get some extra picks out of it because 28 isn’t where you take him.

Check out the poll in the middle of this report about Mason. It is quintessential SteelersNation. I swear. https://steelerswire.usatoday.com/20...ers-draft-him/

I meant that Lauletta is the perfect protégée for Brady (because, he is a Brady clone).

[FrancoLambert]

Using our first round pick on a QB who might be the future won't help this team that's built to win now.
A pass rusher, a run stuffer, or someone who can cover are more pressing needs.

Yep. Lauletta’s father and uncle both played for Navy, which is where Belichick’s father coached. That is the connection that I was making.

I see that now. Reading comprehension is not easy. Proceed with your exclellent point.

This kid had Steeler written all over him. I don't agree with the notion that the Steelers do not need a QB in the draft, the idea of waiting until after Ben retires seems troubling. Jones and Dobbs are not the answer. If Colbert/Tomlin see something they can't live without in Mason then pull the trigger, Steeler fans aren't privy to conversation between the organization and Ben so to say the Steelers don't need a QB may be wrong.

Question: how can you proclaim in absolutes that Dobbs is not the answer when he has never seen the field in a real game, never made the same mistake twice in the preseason games he played in, and has only been in the league for one year? And to forestall the posts I anticipate in response: no, I am not saying Dobbs is the answer. I'm saying that at this point in time, you cannot possible know for an absolute fact that he is not. Personally, I'd like to see him get a lot more work in preseason this year and then get put into the fourth quarter of a few games where we have a comfortable lead (if that every happens). Only then can we truly know whether he is or isn't the answer. Now, if a QB falls to us at 28 that we think will light up the scoreboard for the next decade and a half, draft him. Absolutely. But again, making absolute assessments about Dobbs at this point in his career is impossible.

I sure don't want to pass up Marino because Bradshaw is still in the fold. That might not work out as planned.

Except Marino was a much more highly touted prospect who dropped way lower than expected. Rudolph is widely considered the 6th best QB in the draft, a 2nd round prospect that will likely be pushed into the third due to increasing demand of the QB position

Dan Marino was a cocaine addict was the rumor spread , same rumor was spread about Warren Sapp ...the later may have proved to be true but long after the fact

interestingly enough that they both where then drafted by Florida teams
