Analyst critiques Steelers' draft performance under Kevin Colbert
Summary

CBS Sports analyst Mike Renner critiques the Pittsburgh Steelers' drafting record under former GM Kevin Colbert. He emphasized that the team has not maximized the potential of their first-round picks over the last decade, particularly highlighting the lack of success with players like Devin Bush and Terrell Edmunds. Renner noted that outside linebacker T.J. Watt is the only first-round selection to secure a contract extension. The Steelers have struggled to draft, develop, and retain talent, which has contributed to their stagnation as a franchise.
