Great Draft Read

Great article by one of my favorite writers in Justis Mosqueda.


Explains each teams draft tendencies or rather gives a good synopsis about them.

Here is Pittsburgh's:



Kevin Colbert has essentially been running the Pittsburgh Steelers since 2000, when Bill Cowher was still their head coach. He wasn't named general manger until 2010, though, after he had already earned two Super Bowl rings with the team.


He's drafted a lot of players, but a recent bust in pass-rusher Jarvis Jones has seemed to change his philosophy on defensive linemen. Jones was an unathletic pass-rusher but had a great college pedigree, having played at both USC and Georgia and earned back-to-back All-American honors as a Bulldog.



Jones' deficiencies, though, showed up at the combine. He slipped to No. 17 in 2013, and the Steelers scooped him up. He's never recorded more than two sacks in a single season in his NFL career.



Since then, though, the team has drafted tremendous athletes at the top end of the draft to play in its front seven. Ryan Shazier was an athletic inside linebacker who was considered a tweener. Bud Dupree was one of the more explosive pass-rushers we've ever seen at the combine. Javon Hargrave was an athletic defensive tackle from South Carolina State who at 305 pounds started 13 games for Pittsburgh as a rookie nose tackle.



Jones' bust label has led the Steelers to draft versatile defenders who play in the box.



Thoughts?
