So I have compared Shanny’s draft history over the last three years to that of the Steelers (a team who I at least think is the best, if not, one the best at evaluating talent in the draft) and the verdict is that it’s probably not as bad as many of us thought. Yes, there are some mistakes, missed opportunities, and it’s too soon to judge many of the players. And one could argue that the Steelers, always drafted lower, and had less of a need for fill holes, etc. In any event, below is a break down, let me know what think…How has Shanny done when compared to one of the best in the business?

Total number of picks (2010-12)

Note: I have used ESPN's depth chart here. They're maybe some debate on how accurate it is, but I wanted a 3rd party for consistancy. So for example, Hank is not listed as a starter (Garcon is)and Dwyer is not listed as a starter, even though he is getting the majority of the carries. In addition, I listed Rainey as a starter even though its is just as a KR, so take him out if you disagree.
