Immediately following the conclusion of the 2019 NFL Draft, things looked rather promising for the Pittsburgh Steelers and General Manager Kevin Colbert as the Steelers came away with a haul that included linebacker Devin Bush, wide receiver Diontae Johnson, cornerback Justin Layne, running back Benny Snell Jr., and more.

That doesn’t even begin to mention Layne, who’s been a relative disappointment at cornerback (though he’s been very good as a gunner on special teams), and Snell Jr.
