I think it's more about - for most guys coming out of college - landing in a place where you're in a position to succeed. You take a guy who was not that great of a college player, and put him on the Steelers defense. He's in a great situation, he's with mature guys and on a good defense, he'll grow. On the other hand, you take a decent college player and put him on the Oakland Raiders, he won't grow.

It's not that the draft is a big game of Stratego and the Steelers never hit the bombs. Their culture is the major part what makes them successful, I think.
I have a real hard time believing Joey Porter kept his mouth shut. He went on to being called a bust in Miami. Bell went on to be a bust here, but that one may be laid at injuries doorstep.

It's team IMO
