Steelers best drafting in NFL since 1996

According to this little site. In terms of finding value.

Oh boy I hope this is going to be enough popcorn for this thread

 

It doesn't shock me. I truly believe injuries have kept us from receiving at least 2 more rings in past 10 years

 

Ozzie Newsome could possibly be the most over rated Gm in the history of the league. Has he hit on anyone since flacco?

 

All this with mediocre management!

Ok, green is for sarcasm. What color for just being a smart arse? I was thinking red, but that seemed more for a sore....

 

President Goodell...salute

 

Without even reading the link I'd have to give it to the miserable Patsies - they're constantly like that famous line out of Butch Cassidy: "Who are these guys?"

 

They're high up (largely due to Brady) but certainly not top - probably because their trick is as much about picking up no-name FAs, and the scoring system doesn't look at that.

 

and who needs to have great drafts when you can cheat to get the wins

 

Or at least ask Pitt to offer a new class at the school where the scour the NFL rulebook looking for new ways to exploit the loosely defined rules.

 

Discounting the 10 year window, when they passed up Dan Marino in the draft, that cost us 2 SBs as well...........

 

Us being #1 is no surprise, but I am surprised how high the Jags are (7th) and how low the 49ers are (27).

 

its like any other stat article. take it with a grain of salt.

 

Did they forget Jerome Betti's as being better on his 2nd team?

 

I was okay with this until I saw the Jags are 7th. The Jags have reported today in the local paper how bad they have drafted and the misses they had. They have fired their last 2 GMs and the paper says this one will get fired also if he dosen't hit on this draft.

So can't give too much credit to this report as the Jags are in no way the 7th best draft team.

 

Oh your quick today Blast, must be the mod juice kickin in.

 

I would still say Mike Brown/Marvin Lewis supercedes him. Actually, in a recent NFL coaching rank, Lewis surpasses Tomlin; something I find very hard to believe.

 

I wouldn't go that far. Tomlin navigated this team through a rebuilding phase without having a losing season. That is really impressive and people don't give him enough credit for it. Think about the Bengals once ocho and them got old.
