    More offseason fun - Pick best all time Steelers team

    Okay let the off season fun begin...

    Name your all time best Steelers team per position on offense, defense and special teams (kicking only). On most positions you can pick your starter and backup(s). For instance QB, you would say: Bradshaw, Roethlisberger or vice versa if you want Ben starting ahead of Bradshaw. For WR you pick the top five since it is such a versatile position. Since the Steelers had two different defensive eras that dominated (4-3 with the Steel curtain vs 3-4 of the modern team) use some liberty to get your best players picked even if they are "out of position". For instance Joe Greene would definitely start on today's Steelers team despite playing in a 4-3 during his career.

    Let's also assume you are picking the player in their prime in their best season.

    Offense:

    QB (Pick 2): Bradshaw, Roethlisberger
    RB (Pick 2): Franco, L. Bell (Bettis honorable mention).
    FB (Pick 2): Dan Kreider, Rocky Bleier
    WR (Pick 5): AB, Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, Santonio Holmes, Hines Ward
    TE (Pick 2): Heath Miller, Eric Green
    C (Pick 2): Dermontti Dawson, Mike Webster
    LT (Pick 2): Jon Kolb, Marvel Smith
    RT (Pick 2): Willie Colon, Leon Searcy
    LG (Pick 2): Alan Faneca, Chris Kemoeatu
    RG (Pick 2): Gerry Mullins, Ramon Foster

    Defense (this one is tough because of the 4-3 vs 3-4 defensive history so just fill in the best you can):

    SS (Pick 2): Troy Polamalu, Donnie Shell
    FS (Pick 2): Minkah Fitzpatrick, Carnell Lake
    CB1 (Pick 2): Mel Blount, Joe Haden
    CB2 (Pick 2): Rod Woodson, Ike Taylor
    OLB1 - TJ Watt, Kevin Greene
    OLB2 (Pick 2): James Harrison, Jason Gildon
    ILB1 (Pick 2): Greg Lloyd, Jack Ham
    ILB2 (Pick 2): Jack Lambert, Joey Porter
    NT (Pick 2): Casey Hampton, Ernie Holmes
    DT1 (Pick 2): Joe Greene, Cam Heyward
    DT2 (Pick 2): LC Greenwood, Aaron Smith

    K (Pick one): Boz
    P (Pick one): Jordan Berry
    P/K Returner (Pick 2 can be from above roster): Rod Woodson, Antwaan Randle El

    Head Coach: Noll, Cowher

    Okay, I'm sure I missed a lot of good players and I know I plugged a few in positions they didn't start at as backups but could you imagine lining up against this team all in their primes?
