    Kevin Colbert Confirms Steelers Brought In Only 23 Players For Pre-Draft Visit

    One interesting draft nugget you may have missed at today’s annual pre-draft presser from Mike Tomlin and Kevin Colbert.Colbert confirmed the Steelers brought in only 23 prospects for a pre-draft visit, choosing not to bring in the maximum of 30. He explained his rationale.
    “I’m sure someone is going to ask, ‘well you only had 23 in for a visit,'” Colbert said Monday. “And that’s true. But we went into this spring with the focus of let’s make sure we don’t bring kids in just to hit 30. We wanted to make sure we were diligent about selecting those. Because when you do those interviews, it’s usually during your meetings. And it takes away from your meetings. We wanted to make sure the ones that we did were the most important.”

    Seven of those 23 were ILBs.

    So... if my math is correct, I’m going to go ahead and say that the Steelers will draft an ILB at some point in the draft.

    Fire Colbert. This is inexcusable. No wonder their draft stunk. No wonder so many players were over-drafted by a round or more. Just a terrible way to put your board together. What craftsman doesn't use all the tools provided to them?

    Just wanted to beat the rush.

    I could see them taking 2. A highly rated player in the first couple rounds, and another player to develop or an injured player to take a chance on like Jason Cabinda.

    You never know.

    Yeah, this is the season that if he and Tomlin don't shape up, they will get fired.

    I think they caught up with a lot of prospects on the dinner circuit. Looking forward to another solid draft.
