I suppose if Pittsburgh was as successful as the Browns/Bengals, etc…..we wouldn’t keep hearing bitterness from fools like you who clearly are disgruntled by our overall franchise’s successes.

(holdin’ up six fingers).

-Peace.

I find it amusing that you attempt to bash a steeler fan for not being able to type full sentences, yet you typed “greatfull” as opposed to “grateful”.

Clearly, just another bitter non-steeler fan who would love to have the rings we have.

Embrace your one ring bud.

Those are the type of quality individuals that organization covets. Stay Classy Pissburgh!

No receivers were drafted in the first round that year though several went in the second (in pick order):
Donnie Avery
Devin Thomas
Jordy Nelson
James Hardy
Eddie Royal
Jerome Simpson
DeSean Jackson
Malcolm Kelly
Limas Sweed
Dexter Jackson

Ugh. Pretty much a complete loss at the position. Even worse, one of the players taken after Sweed but before Jackson?
Ray Rice

Ray Rice
Jamaal Charles
Jermichael Finley
Mario Manningham

Amazing how a guy dominates major college football but can’t play a lick at the next level. Crazy.

I hated the fact that Sweed was always injured. This years shoulders injury I guess did it. This is definitely a wasted pick and a huge disappointment.

He was very good at Texas in college but that as we all know doesn’t always carry over to the pros. Being hurt all the time with the Steelers just doesn’t seem to be fair.

Thats when Philly “went out on a limb” and drafted Desean Jackson. Im not trying to brag or say that Philly makes all the right draft choices, but I remember a lot of WRs going in the first 2 rounds of that draft. Looks like Philly made a good choice with Desean. I remember another big-name WR going to the giants that year also and he was just recently cut, I think.

Could not stay healty (shoulder and hamstring) and could not hold the ball. I was hoping he would show something. Good kid and I hope he turns it around… just in the NFC. Go Steelers!

They usually have the best draft classes.

And that is why i comment on these articles with you fools and am not a scout for the NFL…. back to my sorry life
