Are the Steelers overrated at drafting players?

When you think of the Pittsburgh Steelers organization, one of the first things you might think of is the Steelers impressive ability at drafting talent. More-so you may think of the team’s nearly 20-year run without having a losing season. Those two factors alone would be cause to believe the Steelers have continued to be an elite drafting team to this day. But what if I told you only five of 51 draft picks (+6 free agents) between 2011-2017 were still under contract with the team today?

This might make you question the Steelers’ ability of adding talent during the draft.
