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..

And Lawrence Timmons is All-Pro eh? Max Starks isnt a 1st round pick either.

So, Steelers' GM Kevin Colbert gets eight years to draft and develop the seven players you listed above, but TD is expected to somehow match that number in only three years?
And I love how we can call PFF's #21st ranked center - a player who was bottom five in the league in sacks, QB hits and pressures allowed - a "future Pro Bowler," yet we don't bestow that same honor to promising players like William Moore.
And I think it goes without saying that TD won't be given a six year window to win the Super Bowl like Colbert was, will he?
Your obsessive jealousy of TD has truly clouded what little sense of reasoning you have. TD may not be perfect, but at least he didn't assemble a team led by Mike Singletary and built around Byron Leftwich, Jerious Norwood, Vernon Gholston and Josh Barrett. Forgive me if I'm extremely thankful for that.

Lets hope by year 6 he has enough talent on the field to get us a playoff win yet alone a Super Bowl..
We will be going into his 4th year in the process...

Translation:
Colbert - Look how good he's done over eight seasons! It's amazong, I can't believe TD hasn't been able to do this in 3!

lol some of you people are beyond ridiculous . I mention how the Steelers dont go out and spend money on free agency and build through the draft I get hit with a rebuttal no one was saying TD shouldnt have that time but he is not taking the road we all thought he would by building through the draft ...
Jesus
can anyone say Pitt goes out and spends big $$ in free agency ?
Thank you

You got it all wrong Swift, we're just learning from you, picking and choosing which part of your moronic posts to hammer on.
