Interesting Draft Piece at NFL.com

Best/worst first-round picks for all 32 slots...

Lots of notable Steelers picks in the first round (they are counting down backwards, so the latest slots are 13-16):

#30 - Heath Miller
#26 - Alan Faneca
#21 - Lynn Swann
#16 - Troy Polamalu
#15 - Huey Richardson (umm...he's in the "worst" column)
#13 - Franco Harris

There are usually 3 "best" picks and 3 "worst" picks for each slot. It's also just one guy's opinion, but I found it interesting.

I don't think that needed to be pointed out.

Considering that they drafted Lawrence Phillips 6th overall to replace Bettis, then traded Bettis and a 3rd rounder for a 2nd and a 4th rounder, and now Bettis will be getting his gold jacket in Canton this year, while Phillips will have years added to his prison sentence after murdering his cellmate...yeah, I'd say that turned out to be pretty dumb.
