2012 Outlook: Solid/Safe Pick

Last updated on May-11-2012 by Rob Warner

With RB Rashard Mendenhall likely to miss a large portion of the upcoming season, expect the Steelers to become a pass centric team in 2012. Reports have also surfaced that new OC Todd Haley could employ more no huddle packages. The draft day additions of OG David DeCastro (Stanford) and OT Mike Adams (Ohio State) should go a long way in improving Big Ben's pass protection. Roethlisberger has topped 4,000 yards passing in two of the past three seasons and remains a borderline QB1 / high end QB2 as he enters his 9th NFL season.

2012 Mock Draft Results

Month	Position	Franchise/Comments
MyFantasyLeague Expert Draft May 2, 2012	7.06	Footballguys
2012 Experts Mock Draft (June) June 6, 2012 - June 25, 2012	7.10	DraftSharks.com - I think Roethlisberger has 30+ TD upside with Todd Haley around. There's a lot of passing-game talent on hand in Pittsburgh, which should drive the offense.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (July) July 16 - 27	8.04	TheHuddle.com - Was considering pairing RG3 with Peyton; with that plan scuttled, I'll hope Big Ben can wrap his brain around the new offense.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (August) Aug 14 - 24	8.09	FFToday.com - Not the QB I was hoping for on the way back but still pretty satisfied with Roethlisberger as a late drafted starter. He's got a trio of good receivers, now Wallace is back, and the running game looks like a bit of a mess plus the defense is showing its age. Big Ben could be in line for more passing attempts than we are accustomed to seeing from him. Here is hoping his stats trend upwards too and his body can handle the wear and tear, a legitimate concern, for sure.
