Colbert, Tomlin Need Draft Picks of the Past and Present to Step Up Now

The 2015 NFL Draft is in the books. The Pittsburgh Steelers have already signed a dozen or so undrafted free agents and are moving ahead with the offseason. Phase Two of the team’s offseason program will begin on Monday and this will give the team a chance to start working with their new players.

For General Manager Kevin Colbert and Head Coach Mike Tomlin, this begins a season where draft picks of past years and draft picks of this past weekend must become significant contributors.

In terms of recent drafts, there is little left in the way of patience for guys like Jarvis Jones and Shamarko Thomas.
