Personally, I do not want to be in draft "no mans land" where we can't get a difference making player and we can get the same type of player we could get 5-10 players later.

Before many start with holier than thou "we always try to win" no matter what, just remember how the Penguins got Mario Lemieux and Sid Crosby. How'd that work out? Really think they were trying to win all those games?

Sometimes you have to take a step back to take two steps forward. What are your thoughts?
Sorry, but your thinking is twisted. You are presuming that a team can only find a "difference maker" at the top of the draft. It just isn't true. In fact, the true difference makers from past Steeler teams have more often than not come from deep in the draft or even UDFAs. The real question that needs asked, and why the local media doesn't attack it, is what has changed in the talent scouting department since 2007? They have clearly lost that edge, wonder if there was a quiet departure when Rooney Sr left?
