He was the 11th overall pick brother. I can understand sometimes people use hyperbole and that's cool. However, you are trying to be serious and say that he literally had nothing suggesting that he would be a good QB. Real NFL scouts and coaches reviewed the tape and saw something so there was indication to folks who do their job that he could be a good QB. Hell, popular draft pundits like Mel Kiper and WalterFootball also liked the Ben pick. It wasn't a pick out of left field. 

Yea, fair enough.  I was definitely a bit over-dramatic there.
But honestly, nobody predicted he would go 15-1 his first season... win 2 Super Bowls, etc.
I still say the Steelers caught lightning in a bottle with that pick.

I mean... look at Ryan Leaf.
