Drafting Mason Rudolph in the third-round of the 2018 NFL Draft basically destroyed all chances of Josh Dobbs becoming the next Steelers’ starter. Although nothing is guaranteed, Dobbs isn’t expected to be one of the three quarterbacks on the roster come August.
Dobbs most valued asset is his potential. Despite having plenty to work on in his early NFL years, he has the arm strength and the intelligence to develop into a decent pro QB.
That no longer helps him in Pittsburgh. Mason Rudolph’s ceiling is far above Dobbs’. As the third-round pick this year, Rudolph has basically been given the job of Ben Roethlisberger’s successor.
