Jason Worilds - OLB - Virginia Tech

3rd Round
Emmanuel Sanders - WR - SMU

6th Round (1st selection)

7th Round
Doug Worthington - DL - Ohio State

Honestly. Go here: Steelers Drafts and actually do your homework. They draft TONS of flops. The difference is that the Steelers know who fits and who doesn't. They will let guys marinate in their system for YEARS and let them become impact players later. James Harrison is a prime example of that. Dude was too dumb to grasp the playbook and had been cut for years until he could get a grasp for the game.

You need the NFL Ticket or something because it is fairly obvious you get all your info from highlight shows.

Oh yeah, and we may have drafted a project DE in the 4th round, but the Steelers drafted a PUNTER in the 4th. Your head would explode if we did that. At least Sidbury may develop into something special.

Are you seriously trying to compare Pitt draft picks to our draft picks ..?
every team is allow to miss on draft picks especially them but they dont miss on key picks like we have and possibly have done with a guy like Perria Jerry drafted by TD .

Over the Past 8 years Pitt drafts have complied

Maurkice Pouncey...future pro bowl C shit already regarded as one of leagues best
Santonio Holmes..helped them win a super bowl then traded
LaMarr Woodley.....24 sack.s last 2 years
Ben Roethlisberger......2 time super bowl champion..FUTURE HOF
Troy Polamalu...dpoy ....FUTURE hof
Max Starks..franchise T
Rashard Mendenhall..............one of best rbs in league



Now do they go out and spend big $$$ on other free agents ..like we have done with Dunta and even WITH Turner...


IF TD is this draft GURU that everyone made him out to be where is the BUILDING THROUGH THE DRAFT ????????

He got his pro bowl rb through free agency
he traded for his TE
and gave a ridiculous contract to Dunta Robinson

He did draft the franchise QB and franchise MLB ...what else ????
a inconsistent Tackle in Baker..
