I am sure that is the Steelers strategy.
Two failed drafts in a row will cause you to "hang onto veterans too long"........
Yes. You can claim they failed, but it is not like they didn't try to restock. You have heard it a hundred times, the players from 2008 and 2009 should be the ones on the field replacing the old guys today. Most are not even in football.
I thought that the Steelers had $1.5 million of unused cap space last year that they were permitted to move to this year...
I've read several reports that state that the Steelers had about $1.3 million in unused cap space last year that may rollover to this year...
Those drafts were killers. Look at the failed picks:
- RB
- Tall WR
- OLB
- DE
And looks at the picks that weren't retained:
- WR
- CB
These were all areas of need that have been addressed with subsequent high picks or are areas of need today.
When you rely on the draft, you cannot come up empty with two classes. And especially with the Wallace situation, if you aren't going to be able to retain the player, you need to find a way to exchange that asset to return value. The third round comp pick, whoever it is, likely won't be a contributor until late 2014 or 2015, regardless of the side of the ball.

What Actually Happened: Lamar Jackson became the youngest two-time NFL MVP winner ever.
