This might be the worst draft and Steelers history

It's no use talking about drafting DB's, CB's in particular when you're picking 30th, 8 DB's inc 5 SB's had gone before the Steelers were on the clock. At the end of the draft you're not in the game for elite draftees at primo positions, so the Steelers when with Watt and later Shuster. To me, Watt is a huge boom bust player, and I think Colbert will be looking like a genius or will be wiping egg off his face early.

Shuster? Luxury or necessity? Impossible to tell right now, but with the Steelers offense never really reaching its potential because of dopes like Bell and Bryant and injuries always at the wrong time, and with a elite QB with a couple of years or so left Colbert probably felt he could not trust BRYANT or COATES and in his position would you? On top of that Ladarius Green is a complete waste of time.

Our 2 and 3 WR cannot be trusted, if he could he'd have had the flexibility to go elsewhere, Bryant is always one piss test away from being unavailable, and Coates has mangled fingers.

As for Dobbs? the likelihood we got a future franchise QB with him is pretty low, not that I dislike him at all, he is what he is a late round long shot with issues and upside. We know Jones isn't the answer that's for sure.

What's the best chance of replacing Ben? - Lose a lot and hope you lose a lot when its QB rich draft, and even then unless an Andrew Luck falls into your lap. If not, you could be looking for a decade for a franchise QB, that's the harsh NFL reality we have been sheltered from for the last 13 years.

 

Was just reading and article ' hearts and smarts". I guess the steelers are going back to drafting players with no character issues. I guess, theyre going with the theory of having lesser talented/coverted players over these players with off the field issues. And with the LS, they've been looking for Warren's replacement for a couple of years now. This guy seems like a good one. They probaly jumped the gun on resigning Warren but, ots the 6th rd and the steelers normally waste this pick anyway

 

He did tear his achilles right? and you know he will be 100%...?

 

How can Golson come back to a place he never really was?

Deep thoughts.

 

I completely agree with you on the O-line being 80% of their success. I don't think Dak is as good as everyone thinks and especially Elliot is a massive product of that O-line. Cowboy fans say he's better than Bell. Pleazzzze! Put Bell behind that line and watch him torch defenses way more than Elliot. Now our O-line is pretty good but they have probably the best O-line in football with Oakland in second IMO.

I think people were just saying we should of picked more defensive players like the Cowboys. That's all they were saying in relation to the Cowboys. The Cowboys have nothing on us!

 

Dallas built their whole offensive line through the draft...which is THE biggest reason why Zeke and Zak were successful.....so I think they did pretty well there.

 

I'm not saying they draft better than us but you claimed they don't build through the draft...the entire reason for their resurgence and success Is based around what has been considered the best O line in football for years....and it was built through the draft.

 

Dallas sucked because they had NO QB when Romo got hurt....they built their BEST unit and now who you say is the keys to their success through the draft as well....but I also do remember a guy named Demarco Murray who was also among the best RBs in thel league at the time because of that OL...the one they built through the draft. You need at least decent QB play to be good in the NFL and the biggest reason Dak did good was because of that OL and also the reason Zeke was as successful as Murray before him....a RB is only as good as his OL and the fact that they were able to run the ball so effectively it took a lot of pressure off of Dak.

 

we can go back and forth forever probably ...teams usually choose the build their teams through the draft either on O or D based on their HC or GM or in the case of the Cowboys the owners son....who convinced his father to build the O line into the best in the league for quite a few years runnIng now...very rarely can you build the O and the D at the same time...they chose O. Their recent success is because of the draft they chose to go O first and are now trying to bring their D up to par. We won for years because of our D first and foremost because we chose to spend high draft picks on it. We slowly focused our efforts on O to get them to the point they are now and now we are trying to bolster our D through the draft. We won with a weak OL because of a D that made up for the shortcomings on our O and a QB who is probably the best ever at making nothing into something....

 

If these don't make it then the Steelers are screwed, it's on Carnell Lake to coach these guys up.

Don't forget we've had our share of key FA signings.....Potsie and Ryan Clark come to mind. So you can say we use free agency as well....I'm not gonna go back in history to figure out a percentage of draft picks to free agents of every team....I don't really care what other teams do honestly and I don't care how we build our team as long as it works . One more point though now that think about it...Dallas built their last dynasty almost entirely from the draft...Aikman,Emmit,Irvin,Harper etc... In any case I'm done ....Go Steelers!

 

lol...the only thing dumber than this argument ....is that movie

 

Oooops! It's all good....

 

Real steel is spot on, this draft was a joke.....the deepest draft on the D side of ball in years....I thought we should have gone D with 1st 4 picks.....The Ravens need help on O side of the ball, but look at the players they drafted, they loaded on D......My draft grade C-, and it's only that high because of Watt
