No hindsight: I hate when the Steelers prove me right like this

    Link? Interesting that you trust someone that has the first-team All-Pro ranked No. 30. There are lots of folks putting out those sorts of evaluations, most of them unreliable.

    Silly me thinking they should have taken the first-team All-Pro.

    Mr. "Everything is Tomlin's fault" thinks I'm stuck on a narrative.

    SIS is a legit evaluation service that's been in business long before it was fashionable. They serve all the major leagues, not just football.

    He was anonymous for almost the entire season. Which is no bad thing for a OL.

    He was part of a line that was inconsistent, at best, in the running game and struggled to protect Rodgers. He covered for those weaknesses by getting the ball more quickly than at any time in his career. That wasn't his only terrible game this season. The Chargers abused him. So did the Browns in Cleveland.

    That makes him nothing more than a middling lineman with upside. What makes him a terrible pick is that he is still inconsistent at best while the guy they should have taken is an All-Pro.

    How does serving Major League Baseball or the NBA help them evaluate an NFL cornerback or offensive tackle? It doesn't.

    Did you skip the part where they do business with the NFL or just chose to ignore it??

    But you can ignore when Mitchell had a bad game against a non-elite WR :shrug:.

    Starks appeared in 10 games as a rookie, none were starts.

    Colon started two games as a rookie to fill-in (can't recall who got injured). Those were the only two appearances he had on the season.
