The Pittsburgh Steelers didn't have an official general manager in the 1970s, but the scouting department was working serious overtime hours in 1974.
Pittsburgh isn't what it is today without the franchise's first five picks in that year's draft. Four of them are Hall of Famers. Many teams barely bat .500 on draft picks that show moderate success on the field. The Steelers batted .800 on Hall of Famers in the first five rounds.
Absurdity.
The Steelers have had several impactful classes from the 1970s and a 1998 group that helped shape two Super Bowls in the 2000s.
