Steelers intent on "getting it right" at QB

No team goes into an NFL Draft hoping to get it wrong. They want every pick to hit and become a future Pro Football Hall of Fame member.

But when you're potentially selecting a quarterback in the first round of a draft, getting it right the first time has long-term effects on a roster that resonate, much like the Steelers' selection of Ben Roethlisberger in the first round of the 2004 draft.

Getting that right can allow a team to remain competitive for years to come, while getting it wrong can set the team back in much the same fashion.
