It’s hard to fault Kevin Colbert and the Steelers front office too much for the job they have done drafting over the past decade. Pittsburgh struck gold on players like Cameron Heyward, David DeCastro, Le’Veon Bell, and T.J. Watt.
However, they also have their share of misses thrown in there as well. Jarvis Jones and Artie Burns are examples of recent first-round busts. It took Bud Dupree five years to get going, and the jury is still out on Terrell Edmunds.
But regardless of how you feel about the quality of Pittsburgh’s drafting, one thing is for certain: They have neglected some positions for too long.
