Yeah the system really is to credit

The players are very good, but the progression and scouting can't be denied.

I hate it cause we're the opposite, we always grab one near the third that never pans out. <_<


They definitely have some luck involved too I won't lie lol.

Brown is basically the Tom Brady of the WR position. Both could be considered amazing draft picks but really both teams got lucky AF drafting them.

Yeah idk about Brown because the Steelers consistently draft WRs who perform much higher than expected, but Brady was more luck than anything

*cough* fate *cough*

A HoFer and one of the best ever in the sixth is definitely lucky. I love Colbert but no one saw Brown being our number one WR let alone our greatest WR in franchise history.

Idk I feel like there are things like coachability of players that recruiters can learn through relationships with the people around the player(s)

You aren't wrong.

But Brown would have went before day 3 if they thought he was going to be a superstar. They might have saw potential in him but they didn't expect him to be more than a return man. That's why he didn't even start consistently until like his third year in the league.


Kevin Colbert's record as the Steelers GM is 188-99. Easily the most underrated GM in the entire league. Even his own fanbase doesn't give him enough recognition. He built a dynasty.
