    Interesting Article on the Draft on Depot

    There's an article on SD that basically says Colbert has sent a letter to the NFL that teams within the division were purposely targeting players the Steelers were targeting just so they would not have a chance at them. They supposedly didn't interview them or bring them in.
    Not sure where the Steelers could even go with such an accusation even if true. How do you prove this? And is this even against any rules? I find it hard to believe, and think this may be someone just misinterpreting Colbert's statements.

              But we’ve known this for a few years now; so what if they are? You man up and compensate by moving up. Granted , we tried to move up to get Evans and we were unsuccessful but what else is there?

                  Colbert traded ahead of Cincy's back-to-back picks in round 3 to take Mason Rudolph.
                  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.

                      Not sure I'd be mad about it . . . if you run your team to spite another you will be about as successful as the Bungles have been doing so.

                              If true, this is double-secret info by Colbert.

                              Openly complain to the NFL about a practice that clearly hasn't worked for other teams in the division. Then, they think that they're getting to you. They keep doing it. Our team keeps doing well. Their teams keep doing poorly.

                              Sounds like a good deal to me.
