Former Steelers Scout Mark Gorscak Explains How Kevin Colbert Drafted

Though Kevin Colbert isn’t in the captain’s chair for tonight’s NFL draft, it’s interesting to hear about his and the team’s process for over 20 draft classes. And how things have changed, at least a little, under current GM Omar Khan. Appearing on 102.5 DVE Thursday morning, former Pittsburgh Steelers scout Mark Gorscak described how the team ultimately chose its player.

Gorscak said Colbert, using a model from mentor Ron Hughes, created a scale to virtually guarantee no two players would have the exact same grade.

“Omar’s scale is a little bit different than Kevin’s scale,” Gorscak told Randy Baumann and his morning show crew.
