The draft is almost on us, so let’s head down the home-stretch in our “What If...?” series on the last 30 years of Steelers draft history. Earlier editions can be found here:
Part 1: Chuck Noll (1969-74)
Part 2: Bill Cowher/Tom Donahoe (1993-94)
Part 3: Bill Cowher/Tom Donahoe (1995-99)
Part 4: Bill Cowher/Kevin Colbert (2000-02)
Part 5: Bill Cowher/Kevin Colbert (2003-06)
Part 6: Mike Tomlin/Kevin Colbert (2007-11)
Part 7: Mike Tomlin/Kevin Colbert (2012-14)
The final edition in this series sees the Steelers near the top again (and the end of each draft round) but also enduring a lot of odd roster static.
