    Ranking last 20 drafts: Steelers No. 1, Eagles 8th, Ravens 4th

    The NFL draft is set to begin Thursday. How your team will do has yet to be determined. But a recent article by Tim Meko, Denise Lu, Bonnie Berkowitz and Lazaro Gamio at WashingtonPost.com reports how franchises fared in the last 20 drafts.

    The team ranked No. 1, taking into account all the drafts since 1996, was the Pittsburgh Steelers getting good value with their picks despite their average draft position being 21st.

    Ben Roethlisberger (2004 draft) was considered their best pick, while Jamain Stephens (1996) the team's biggest bust.

    The Philadelphia Eagles were eighth on the list, while the Baltimore Ravens came in fourth.

    It was no surprise that the Cleveland Browns ranked last.

    Individually, Tom Brady (2000) and Ray Lewis (1996) are considered the best picks, while Ryan Leaf (199 was considered the biggest bust.

    Check here to see where your team ranked [url]https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/sports/nfl-draft-history/[/url] and what players were considered the best picks and biggest busts for each franchise and to see the metrics used to make the ratings.

    And still some refer to our front office as the "brain fart trust" and condemn Steeler "fans" as mindless shills if we actually agree with any of the team's draft day decisions. Turns out the Steelers might actually know what they are doing. Go figure.
    Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

    Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

    We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

    We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

        I demand a recount because we have been told by experts on this board that Tomlin sucks as a talent evaluator and Colbert is just as bad.

              The fact that it didn't knock them out of the #1 spot just shows how well the Steelers draft....

              Hell, Jamain Stephens wasn't bad enough to knock them out of the #1 spot...

                Pittsburgh has 4 players classified as "legendary"...the Rats have 5...

                The Browns? Big ol' goose egg...

                      Which is why Jones is such a out of character pick. They ignored the fact he was a mediocre athlete and took him anyway. He was a need pick for a supposed pass rushing OLB which backfired on them. That is why they should ignore the impulse to go CB in Round 1 this year and get the Best Player.
