Good Thursday to you Steelers’ Fans.
There are numerous things we can point to over the career of Kevin Colbert that help us to understand his approach to first round talent in the NFL Draft. He’s drafted Power Five Conference players every year since Ben Roethlisberger was drafted in 2004. Each of those players also played for a team that finished in the final top 25 poll. There’s another important factor that you should be aware of and it has to do with age. Colbert and the Steelers prefer young players. They like guys who are often juniors and are 20-21 years old.
