@vagitron said: It was a deep draft and there are at least two scouts on my primary steeler board that preached it all offseason. Well, that is what I heard as well, but then I heard others contradict that. So the "experts can't agree", so how can we layman tell? Answer: we don't have to. We just sit back and figure it out a few years later. And one teams "deep draft" may be another teams piece of garbage draft. Take for instance the 1974 draft. A real suck job of a draft, right? Yes, if you were a Browns fan. You got the privilege of seeing these names called: Billy Corbett, Mark Ilgenfritz, Billy Pritchett, Bob Herrick, Gerry Sullivan, Don Scott, Mike Peustow, Tom Gooden, Ron McNeil, Mike Seifert, Bob Hunt, Ransom Terrell, Preston Anderson, Carlton Buchanan. A bunch of freaking household names? Hardly. But, if you were a Steeler fan, lets see, you got to hear the names of Lynn Swann, Jack Lambert, John Stallworth, Mike Webster. Ya follow my point? One guys deep draft is another guys deep pile of shit.
