    My older sisters were huge Prince fans growing up and my wife is also a huge fan so I know damn near every tidbit there is about Prince.

    Other notable hits:

    Sinead OConners biggest hit Nothing Compares 2 U

    Manic Monday for The Bangles

    and he helped Stevie Nicks write Stand Back

                        How quickly we forget Alonzo Jackson. He was the poster boy bust for quite some time.

                        3rd and 4th rounders are where you start quickly getting into crapshoot territory. Those "misses" are easily countered by late round finds like:
                        Brett Keisel
                        Larry Foote
                        Clark Haggans
                        Ike Taylor
                        William Gay
                        Antonio Brown
                        Vince Williams
                        Kelvin Beachum
                        etc.

                        On the whole, '08 is probably the worst followed by one of '15 and '16. At least two solid starters came out of every draft in his era except for those three drafts.

                          Good post.. I still think 3rds are looked at as upper picks ( especially early round)... but agree that it becomes a crapshoot in the 4th+.
                          Regardless, I definitely think KC was a good GM... with the Achilles heel of missing on CB.

                            IIRC everyone loved this draft when it happened.

                            Literally the only draft I remember where lots of people were saying we got the steals of the draft in Rd 1 and 2.

                              Yes, but those whiffs all were in ONE draft. That was really BAD.

                                those players were all busts and flops in the NFL and that draft has set the Steelers franchise back 14 years.
