Combine: Quarterbacks

There are a few positions the Steelers need to address, so I'm going to breakdown some opinions that I have on players that could be beneficial to the Steelers. I'll start with quarterbacks.

It's no secret that the Steelers need help at Quarterback. Big Ben is getting up there in age and the depth behind him is lackluster. Micheal Vick won't be returning and I don't think that anyone believes in Landry Jones. Bruce Gradkowski is a solid backup but is like Ben, getting up there in age.

The draft gives the Steelers the opportunity to bring in a young guy that needs developing. Put him behind Ben and Bruce and let him learn. There are plenty of mid to late round talents but none that I like more than Kevin Hogan from Stanford.

Kevin has good size standing 6'4 and weighing in at 218 lbs. He has good speed running the 40 yard dash in 4.78, great vertical at 32.5 and ran the cone drill in 6.9; all near the top for quarterbacks.

Hogan is also a winner going 36-10 and 3-1 in bowl games with three PAC-12 championships. In his career he threw for 9,385 yards with 75 TDs and 29 INTS.

The best part about Hogan is that it shouldn't take a high pick to grab him. Most "experts" have him projected between the 5th and 7th rounds. With a late round pick there will be no rush to get him ready which will let the coaches get his footwork and deliver NFL ready.
