2012 2nd round pick released.    Yet another reach by Tomlin.    You guys drafted better under Cowher.   It's amazing how well the drafts were with him vs Tomlin.

Btw I know this is smack but I'm Not posting this to get into a pissing match.   Just surprises me the difference between Cowher and Tomlin when it came to drafting.   Is it a player selection or player development issue?

You go on over to some Steelers boards and you'll find that you will have a lot of support for these statements. A lot. 

And on the surface it sure does feel that way. But assuming that every team will have some misses, he's actually not that bad (save for the DISASTROUS '09 draft where not one pick was on the team 4 years later). 

Check out his drafts and you will generally see that his #1s and #2s are/were pretty solid contributors, plus a lot of mid/late round gems like Mike Wallace, Manny Sanders, AB, and Kelvin Beachum.
