If you listen to the podcast or follow our yearly Pittsburgh Steelers’ draft coverage, we talk plenty about the “Blue’s Clues.” Meaning, the long trail of bread crumbs the Steelers have left us to identify their draft preferences and who, based on that, they’re likely to select each year. Especially early in the draft. Pittsburgh has rare continuity, the same head coach since 2007 and though Omar Khan is entering just his second draft, he’s been in the Steelers’ building since Valentine’s Day 2001 and learned from previous GM Kevin Colbert.
If there’s a top “Blue’s Clue” that’s held true year after year, it’s the correlation between the team’s head coach/general manager Pro Day attendance and the team’s first round pick.
