The Longest Mock Draft in NFL History Continues...
This was going to be up early Sunday morning, but instead I felt the urge to tell everyone how much I love Hank Steinbrenner.
With pick No. 23 coming off the board and my genius idea to merge both Cowboy picks into one column, I’m actually starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel!
As one of my biggest fans has suggested in the comments section of a few of these, I’ll soon be able to stop clogging up his Google News with my draft articles!
Huzzah!
Pick No. 23: Pittsburgh Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers spent the entire 2007 NFL season hovering in and out of the NFL’s elite.
For the first half of the season, they seemed like a juggernaut that was ascending to the level of the New England Patriots. By the end of the season, they were an injured shell of their former selves.
It’s impossible to know what the result would have been if the Steelers had met the Patriots earlier in the season, but when they did meet in week 14 it was clear that the Steelers just weren’t there yet.
They will have to improve if they want to challenge the New England Patriots, Indianapolis Colts, and San Diego Chargers for supremacy in the AFC. But that will be easier said than done, especially when you take into account the rise of the Cleveland Browns.
The Browns have improved to the point where they may be the odds on favorite to win the AFC North in 2008. The Steelers will have to worry about the AFC North before they worry about challenging for the AFC championship.
Long Overdue Steeler Rant
There’s something about the Steelers that always bothered me.
While they have some really good character guys like Hines Ward, Ben Roethlisberger, and Willie Parker, they always seem to compliment them with morons like Anthony Smith or Joey Porter who love to run their mouths for no good reason.
I just wish the Steelers would shut-up and allow NFL fans to enjoy them, because they really are a talented and exciting team. Not many teams have spent as long at or near the top of the NFL as they have.
The problem is, there’s always some moronic player on the Steelers that’s more than willing to remind you of just that.
End of Long Overdue Steeler Rant
Giving Big Ben a monster contract was the right decision, even though it’s stupid, NBA-like money. You have to back your franchise quarterback, and even though Big Ben has his deficiencies, there really aren’t any better options out there.
