Fans shouldn’t be so quick to forget about some recent Steelers draft picks

What do many Steelers fans like to exclaim on the morning of the annual NFL Draft? “This is like my Christmas!”

In other words, they’re just as excited about that day as they used to be when they were kids and would run downstairs to open up all of their presents on Christmas morning.

You know how kids are, though. Within a few months, the toys they got are quickly discarded, and by the time the following Christmas rolls around, their focus is on the new presents they just opened.

As it pertains to Steelers fans and recent draft choices, if receiver James Washington, picked in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft, and running back Jaylen Samuels, selected in the fifth round of that same draft, were Christmas presents, they would have tossed them aside a long time ago.
