And still nothing is changing.

My last thoughts on this. If you want to succeed, you should model yourself after successful franchises. Which team has won the AFC North most in the last say 20 years?

Since 2000, the Steelers have won the division 10 times.
Since 2000, the Steelers have made the playoffs, 13 times.
Since 2000, the Steelers have drafted 1 WR in the first round. (2006, Santonio Holmes)

Think about how many years they've had WR's that our DBs just can't cover. And only 1, was from the 1st round.

Don't waste the pick. Be smart, model yourself off of successful franchises, or waste the pick and we can continue to finish 3rd or 4th in the division.


Quick Edit:

Just for fun and just to use a team people may hate less, I went and looked at Green Bay since we all like the Green Bay fan that stops by.

Since 2000, they also have used only 1 1st round pick on a WR, and that was 2002 (Javon Walker).


For us, if we take Chase, it will be 3 in 10 years. Green in 2011, Ross in 2017, Chase in 2021. 3 times as many in half the years. Not a plan for success.

Honestly not sure GB is a perfect example for this argument either as the analysts constantly point out that Rodgers is wasting the last years of his career with subpar support, instead electing to go with his replacement (not sure Love will be that but I digress).

 You would think that shows you need some weapons to keep you in position to win SBs instead of just making it to conference championships. Then again, its hard to argue against one of the most successful organizations of all time. 

And as Carolina pointed out, most of their OL isn't 1st round talents, rather mid round talents that they coached up.
