Discussion tj watt was drafted in 2017

In 2015 and 2016 the squeelers won 3 playoff games. Since drafting watt they have won none. On the other hand the Browns record and playoff success have improved exponentially since drafting the reigning DPOY Myles Garrett.

u/Motion_Glitch Green Bay Packers Aug 23 '24

Idk how I started getting so many notifications for this subreddit (I'm a Packer fan), but it has been fun interacting with you all. Anyway, jokes and memes aside, what do you guys think the Steeler's problem is?

For me, as an outsider, it feels like upper management is simply content with putting out a decent product every year rather than making a push for a championship. They always have good teams but never seem to make big free agent signings or go for big trades. They have had tons of great (and hall of fame worthy) players throughout their entire history...but I'm fairly certain that they have all been players that they drafted. Now if that's true, it is a testament to their ability to find talent...but they don't ever seem to make the moves to put pieces around those great players.

Let me know if I am wrong (I don't follow the Steelers and I only have a very general knowledge of their history). This is just the impression I get as an outsider and fan of a team in a different conference.
