The Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2022 NFL Draft was an interesting one for several reasons. First, the team was going into its first season without future Hall of Fame QB Ben Roethlisberger who retired that offseason, putting Pittsburgh in position to try and find his successor. Secondly, former GM Kevin Colbert captained the ship for the final time during that offseason, choosing to remain as the team’s GM through the draft where he would then hand over the reins to current GM Omar Khan.
Colbert’s final draft class as Steelers general manager has been subject to scrutiny over the past year based on how the draftees fared thus far in their respective careers.
