Re: Last years draft just keeps on getting worse for the Steelers.
Mike Wallace and Keenan Lewis are both gone now. Two of the best players they have drafted aren't even with the team anymore.

Re: Last years draft just keeps on getting worse for the Steelers.
What's interesting is many of those guys we talked about here and really didn't want the Ravens to draft. Hood, Heyward and Adams were all guys the majority of the Ravens fans were hoping didn't end up Ravens. Since the Ravens and Steelers are similar organizations they tend to be linked to the same guys in the draft. Outside of DeCastro there hasn't been a Steelers draft pick in recent years that I had hoped we'd end up with and so far DeCastro was more hype than substance.

Re: Last years draft just keeps on getting worse for the Steelers.
Just to provide a smidgen of balance: Decastro has not had the chance to show much, because of injury. The much-maligned Adams has shown he could be a decent (just decent) RT, and their Oline might finally be solid. This year they might have had a decent draft. I come to bury the Steelers, not praise them, but somehow they are always tough.

Charlie Batch beat us last year and Dixon made it close.

Re: Last years draft just keeps on getting worse for the Steelers.
Easily the Ravens draft.
Pitta
Dickson
Arthur Jones- very solid coming into his own and emerging.
Cody- suspect wave guy- could emerge...not dead yet, but hope fading.
Reed- good gunner still has a chance
Harewood- backup G for late round pick
Decastro? Unsure injuries.
Adams? Unsure injuries, and wasnt good anyway.
Spence- likely career over
Rainey-gone
Ta'amu- ? hasnt played, legal troubles.
Beachum- did well in limited action (best of the lot so far)

Re: Last years draft just keeps on getting worse for the Steelers.
The Steelers seem to be losing pieces and, in recent years, do not seem to be having sufficient draft success to compensate. They may be on the decline, but I wouldn't count them out just yet. Theirs is an organization that has proven resilient. As for this coming season, they may be helped by an easier (3rd place) schedule. Their AFC South & West opponents will be Tennessee and Oakland, while the Ravens opponents from those divisions will be Houston and Denver.
In any case, I expect Ravens-Steelers matchups to continue to be close, physical, and hard-fought.
