I should have said rarely. You all also forgot to mention Troy Edwards who was a first rounder. Fact of the matter is if the steelers are good  at drafting anything its wr's. Coates was traded because of that surplus. Argue it all you want, its fact. Look at the core right now. 

Brown, bryant, juju, eli rogers and justin hunter plus dhb as the ace gunnar on ST. 

You should have said "50% of the time the Steelers get it right when drafting WRs".   And I did mention Troy Edwards. Did you read that post? And the fact is, of the WRs you mention....you only have 1 1/2 proven WRs.  AB.  Bryant has to prove he will not be a "white punk on dope" (a Tubes reference...before your time).  And there is nothing proven about the others you mention. No more so than the pile of WRs the Browns have.

I can't believe Williams was released

You said the Steelers never miss on WRs.   Now you can say the following:  "I was wrong, the Steelers have missed on a number or WRs.  But then, your vanity will probably force you to say.....but, but, but, but....we have hit on a number of them"    Yes, you have.  But your statement was that "the NEVER miss on WRs."  So, either you were ignorant of the fact that these several WRs were busts....or you lied....or you obliterated them from your memory. So we simply did the service of bringing them back to your memory".

Civil War medicine is effective. Coates didn't lose the hand = success.

Seems to me it's the same old Steelers medical staff..Damn they know what to put in a needle, so why ever learn how to re-set a dislocated finger? Wonder when it really got broke?

Do you want to highlight the wr's they hit on? Coates isnt sweed or gibson. He was traded because we have a surplus. Period.

You said " The steelers dont really miss on wr's. "

therefore, you are completely in error, and caked with three rivers swamp water scum.

Yeah, you can just tape the fingers together, and you see the results. ?

Obviously busted his index finger, or badly dislocated it. After seeing that, I'm not going to any hand surgeons in Pittsburgh.!

Looks like the dude had his fingers cut off, then some white ones sewn back on....crooked too....

Id like to see him and JPP thumb wrestlin....

2005: Fred Gibson

In 2005, the Steelers selected Fred Gibson in the fourth round of the NFL Draft. Gibson stood at 6'4" and had good speed. The Steelers hoped he could be the replacement for Plaxico Burress.

Gibson survived until final cuts with the Steelers, and when he was released, he joined the Miami Dolphins practice squad, where he remained for two years.

In 2007, Gibson signed with the Atlanta Falcons, and was released three days later for missing a team meeting.

He then signed with the St. Louis Rams on August 6th, and was released on August 31st.

Gibson then signed with the New York Giants on September 3rd to join their practice squad, and was released five days later

2008: Limas Sweed

When the Steelers selected Limas Sweed in the second round of the 2008 NFL Draft, many people believed that the Steelers had finally found the stud, big receiver that Ben Roethlisberger wanted.

Sweed had all the look of the part, unfortunately though, he didn't have the talent and ability to stay healthy needed to go with it.

After injuries in his first two years, the Steelers finally cut Sweed's cord at the end of the lockout.

Fun fact: Both Coates and Louis were drafted in the 3rd round.

Hes been hurt. The steelers dont really miss on wr's. He was just the odd man out with juju getting drafted and bryant getting reinstated. A spoil of riches at wr in pgh. I thought we may cut heyward bey but hes an ace on special teams. Coates just wasnt needed.

Really?  LImas Sweed,  Willie Reid, Dri Archer, Troy Edwards.(even Coates himself...since you don't think much of him)  What are these guys doing for you?  Since 2000 the Steelers are about 50/50.

(but, that is a good percentage, compared to the Browns who are kind o Ohfer)

All it means to me is  Coco and Louis still suck if were still going after someones leftovers...

 I honestly don't get the move...He's been a bust so far...

But say what you will the Browns are better than we think. 

They almost have to be, by default. 1-15 is as ugly as it gets, and the only hope is that the franchise has hit rock bottom and bounces. All those high draft picks and nothing to show for it......
