Roethlisberger was drafted right where he should have been, if not higher. Major talent, minor school. So no, I wouldn't have taken him at 3 based on what I knew at the time.
Rivers is a different story.
Sanchez started one year at USC and was coming out as a Junior. That's not the pedigree for a top-5 pick in my book. He should've stayed in school another year. And I think his performance in New York reflects that. He just didn't have the foundation of a successful rookie starter like Ryan or Flacco. I think he's somebody that should have gone in the 20s, if not later, and in a stronger QB class, or a stronger draft, he certainly would have. He's like Aaron Curry in that regard.
Clausen is a risk I might take. A pro style quarterback with three years as a starter in a major program (which is the reason I don't think he's there at 3). Bradford, on the other hand, is not. Spread QB injured for a whole year? Not touching that.
Either way, I think it'll be a great day when you finally get away from this idea that everybody who disagrees with you is some kind of brain-dead idiot who doesn't have any concrete reasoning behind what they think. People have different opinions, that's okay and it's not any kind of slam against you.
