The 2021 NFL Draft looms large, but there’s no reason to worry

The NFL Draft is basically Christmas in April for NFL fans and pundits. And while some fans fear for the selections from their respective front offices, Steelers’ fans should rest easy knowing Kevin Colbert and company are still around.

Take 2020 for example, the most disorganized draft processes in modern NFL history... for one more cycle, the Steelers entered the long weekend without a pick until midway through the second round. Colbert and co. only came away with Chase Claypool, Alex Highsmith and Kevin Dotson in the second, third and fourth rounds, respectively.

And 24-year-old back-to-back All-Pro Minkah Fitzpatrick served as the de facto first rounder, so.
