The Steelers aren’t going to remain one of the NFL’s most winning franchises over the past decade without doing something right in the draft. Though Kevin Colbert and Mike Tomlin have had their share of misses on draft day, they have hit far more often than not.
Though it happens all the time, it’s critical that teams don’t miss on players in the first round of the draft. In doing so, it could set your operation back years. The Steelers have done this at least twice over the past decade. While it’s probably too early to call Terrell Edmunds a bust, their two biggest draft mistakes since 2010 have been outside linebacker Jarvis Jones and cornerback Artie Burns.
