Roethlisberger had 3 years of college experience too, not just one like Haskins.

Roethlisberger dropping to 11 wouldn't be the same reasons that Haskins would.

But at the same time Roethlisberger dropped to 11 because the Browns decided QB wasn't a big enough need to take him, so they went with a TE.  The Bears didn't take Rodgers because they needed a RB more than a QB, so they took Cedric Benson.  Hell, the Steelers could have taken Dan Marino, but QB wasn't their biggest weakness, so they let him fall down the draft board.

I'm not sold on Haskins being great, but there is a possibility that people look back 10 years from now and point out how the Bengals let him slide on by because QB wasn't their biggest need.  There are just so many ways to botch the draft that it is too easy to pick apart so many selections and non-selections.
