Cowher/Colbert together did not miss on first round picks:
Burress
Hampton
Simmons
Polamalu
Roethlisberger
Heath
Santonio
Simmons was the worst of the bunch - hampered by diabetes - and he started from 2002 - 2008. Each guy made it to a second contract.
Colbert/Tomlin made some good/great picks:
Timmons
Pouncy
Heyward
DeCastro
Shazier
Watt
They also had some busts or guys that didn't make it to a second contract:
Mendenall
Ziggy Hood
Jarvis Jones
Bud Dupree?
Artie Burns?
Those first round misses set the team back by years at each position.
