Steelers stack up well vs. peers in drafting

Second-guessing drafts is the ultimate in armchair quarterback play. It's easy to say which player a team should have picked a year or two after the fact.

And immediate analysis of a draft is often faulty. Anyone remember all the fans ripping the Steelers for taking Le'Veon Bell over Eddie Lacy in 2013?

That said, the Steelers have their share of swings and misses. All teams do. Jarvis Jones in 2013 and Artie Burns in 2016 were misses in the first round. Both were need-based selections and when you make a pick based on need, you run a greater risk of missing on those selections.
