EXACTLY... HOWEVER, i did see another article that mentioned best drafting teams that factored in starters, pro bowls, all pro and super bowls... Read this clip - it's pretty clear the problem is RETENTION, and the article above is not very well thought out.

What makes the Steelers such a quality team in the draft is that they have great success at finding starting-level talent. They've drafted 25 starters in the league, with 19 of those starters coming in the earlier rounds. Those 19 starters drafted between rounds one and four are tied for the second-most of in the NFL.

Simply put, Pittsburgh knows how to find players who can come in pretty quickly and provide solid production. It's a huge reason why they've been such a consistent team over the past decade.
