2007: Lawrence Timmons
2006: Santonio Holmes
2005: Heath Miller
2004: Ben Roethlisberger
2003: Troy Polamalu
How can a team have this many great players drafted in consecutive years? Is it superior talent evaluation? Is it superior coaching? Is it luck?

Part of it is solid coaching as well, when you come into a system like the Pittsburgh Steelers who have Bill Cowher and Mike Tomlin, as well as Dick LaBeau on Defense it's just ultimate win.
