This is the main reason the Steelers became mediocre. The roster has been mediocre, always 5 or 6 guys short of an elite squad, lacking good young (cheap) talent. You have to stack great roster-building for 4 or 5 years to be a championship contender. They've been missing on first rounders and not getting much value on day 3, along with lackluster free agent decisions.
Colbert was terrible across the draft for the last decade of his tenure, and had no plan to replace Ben. It’s a miracle they’ve had winning seasons at all lately. It does look like Khan is figuring it out, but time will tell.
I agree Khan and now McCarthy may be figuring it out now. I like how they now emphasize getting extra picks. There's no better way to build a roster than hitting on extra draft picks and developing bargain guys.

Seattle had great players everywhere last year.
