Last year or the year before, the Steelers had a lot of choices and Colbert didn't want them. Instead of perhaps trading them for the next year or this year, he gave them away to trade up in the same draft.<BR/><BR/>While, as a Steeler fan and season ticket holder, I'd like to see us have more picks this year, I have absolutely no sympathy for Colbert who couldn't figure out how to transfer riches in one year to another.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-8474813640816110822008-04-26T19:33:00.000-04:002008-04-26T19:33:00.000-04:00If Dan Connor or Justin King drops to the Steelers...If Dan Connor or Justin King drops to the Steelers in round 2, do they have any interest?

In Jim Johnson's blitzing defense, they absolutely need DBs who can play man coverage. If one of the top corners or safties are available, look for the Eagles to go that way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
