CBS Sports analyst Mike Renner went through all 191 first-round picks of the last decade and came to the conclusion that the Steelers are far-and-away the franchise that got the least out of theirs. He talked about it on the Pushing the Pile Podcast on Youtube.
“They have not gotten a darn thing out of those guys they’ve taken highly,” Renner said. “When you look at this roster, it’s 37-year-old Cam Heyward, 32-year-old T.J. Watt; it’s 30-plus-year-old Jalen Ramsey. Kevin Colbert, this is basically still his team, and he hasn’t been the GM in four years.”
Watt is the only Steelers first-round pick of the last decade to get a contract extension in Pittsburgh. A fact Renner brought up but is in no way lost on the fanbase. Colbert set this team back years with poor choices like Devin Bush, Terrell Edmunds, Bud Dupree, Jarvis Jones, Artie Burns, and, of course, Kenny Pickett.
