The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review's John Harris writes what Steelers fans have regarded for just about any while now: cornerback Ricardo Colclough just wasn't working out. also it really came as no shock once the team introduced him a couple of days ago. Harris adds:
At earliest glance, Colclough's discharge was viewed as firm as common all through the NFL. It's a technique that happens all the time -- a team slicing loose a player who as soon as held amazing promise. However, the decision to discharge Colclough can be an admission how the Steelers reached too higher to fill a require instead of drafting just one of a great accessible player in picking Colclough all through the next round on the 2004 draft.
In hindsight, sure, the Steelers reached on Colclough, but to say they do it instead of drafting just one of a great accessible player is just ... well, silly. First, how can we know Pittsburgh didn't have Colclough thorough as just one of a great available? Second, and much more importantly, who else have to they have taken? It's just one element to phone call them out, it's also very helpful to provide alternatives to assistance your argument.
A fast perusal on the 2004 draft shows that between Pittsburgh's two picks -- Colclough at No. 38 and Max Starks at No. 75 -- there wasn't precisely a cornucopia of talent floating around. on the 37 avid gamers drafted, only Bob Sanders is regarded getting an established Bowler, and at the time, the Steelers didn't possess a require for safety. (Although, there's a circumstance to be produced that there's consistently a require for Bob Sanders. Duly noted.)
Other not-completely-awful avid gamers available: Jake Grove, Greg Jones, Madieu Williams, Darnell Dockett, and Shawntae Spencer. Obviously, any of those guys would've been much better choices than Colclough, but nobody was clamoring for them back in April '04. And frankly, other than Sanders, it's not obvious any of those avid gamers qualify as "the perfect available" using the No. 38 all round pick.
