SCB Steelers Quick Hitters: The “Watt Retrospective” Edition

Good Friday to you Steelers’ fans.

Most of you know football. Most of you also know the NFL Draft is not perfect. In theory, it is designed to be I guess as the worst teams are supposed to get the best players and therefore get better. But that doesn’t always happen. Take the Steelers’ drafting of T.J. Watt for example. The Steelers chose 30th that year and ahead of what went the following pass rushers: Myles Garrett, Derrick Barnett, Jonathan Allen, Charles Harris and Takk McKinley. Anger issues aside, Garrett has been pretty good but I’d argue none of these players has been even close to what Watt has become in Pittsburgh.
