Seems he's not a good choice then.
FWIW, Cowher's Steelers never had a top 5 pick in the draft. They only had one top 10 pick in the draft (Plaxico Burress with #8 in 2000) and that was a year when the first three QBs taken were Chad Pennington (#18), Giovanni Carmazzi (3rd round), and Chris Redman (3rd round).

The year he took over the Steelers, he inherited Neil O'Donnell and the only first round QB taken that year in the draft was Tommy Maddox (#25).

They finally got Rothlisberger at #11 in 2004, thirteen years into Cowher's tenure.

I had no idea how horrible Cowher's QB opportunities were for most of his coaching stint.
