Louis Lipps Jersey , they will not match that feat again this year after agreeing to a trade with the Denver Broncos.The Steelers sent their first-round pick (No.20), second-round pick (No.52) and a third-round pick in 2020 to the Broncos in return for their first-round pick (No.10), a selection they used on Michigan linebacker Devin Bush. For those playing close attention, Kevin Colbert alluded to the team’s interest in trading up when talking to Missi Mathews of Steelers.com earlier in the week. Noting that having 10 picks was something of a luxury and that a move up would still leave Pittsburgh with eight selections, it was a clear sign that the Steelers would seriously consider trading up this year. And while Colbert revealed during his annual pre-draft press conference on Monday that Pittsburgh does not use a chart to assess the value of a trade like many teams do, based on the current popular version of the chart created by the Dallas Cowboys in the 90’s, the Steelers appear to have made a fairly equitable deal based on the numbers.The last time Pittsburgh moved up in the first-round of the draft was back in 2006 when they traded their first, third and fourth round picks to move up from No.32 to No.25 to select wide receiver Santonio Holmes. The only other first-round trade in the Colbert era came in 2003 when the Steelers traded their first, third and sixth round picks to move up from No.27 to No.16 to select Troy Polamalu. The Steelers still have nine picks remaining in the 2019 NFL Draft: Bracketing the best teams in the past 50 years of Pittsburgh Steelers history never to win a title.

Your choice. Be sure to wax poetically in the comment section below. No. 1 Seed: 2004 (15-1) The Ben-ginning of a new eraBen Roethlisberger’s rookie season saw Bill Cowher’s Steelers post their best regular season record in the team’s history. Ben shattered the NFL record of six wins by a QB to start his NFL career by going 13-0 in the regular season. Besides the mania surrounding the rookie phenom, this was the season that saw the debuts of Duce Staley and Willie Parker in Pittsburgh and the original last days of Plaxico Burress. We also saw James Harrison get to take advantage of a chance when Joey Porter punched William Green in Pregame of a November bout in Cleveland. The highlights of the season included beating undefeated New England (halting their 21-game win-spree) and Philadelphia in back-to-back games in Weeks 8 & 9 respectively. Leading the way that year was Roethlisberger (13-0 and a 66.4 completion percentage)
Alejandro Villanueva Jersey , Jerome Bettis (941 yards and 13 TDs), Staley (830 yards), Hines Ward (1,004 receiving yards), Aaron Smith (8 sacks), Joey Porter (7 sacks), Clark Haggans (6 sacks), James Farrior (4 interceptions, 3 sacks, 3 forced fumbles and recoveries), Polamalu (5 interceptions) and Deshea Townsend (4 interceptions). The Steelers narrowly escaped the Jets at home when Ben Roethlisberger threw two interceptions (including a pick six) and Doug Brien missed game-winning field goals for the Jets. The dream ended at home in the AFC Championship Game as No. 7 threw another pick-six and New England trounced the Steelers 41-27. The Pats went on to win the Super Bowl.Pro Bowlers: Jerome Bettis, Alan Faneca

However, Chuck Noll’s team shockingly started off as a disappointing 1-4. To make matters worse, QB Terry Bradshaw was injured in a Week 5 loss in Cleveland. Bradshaw sustained the injury after the infamous Joe “Turkey” Jones slamdown. Fortunes would turn with Mike Kruczek behind center, as the rookie set a NFL record (later broken by Ben Roethlisberger in 2004) for wins to start a career. Bradshaw would return intermittently throughout the remainder of the season, but most of the Steelers success was due to a suffocating defense (five shutouts and a mere 28 points surrendered in those final nine games) and the rushing tandem of Franco Harris and Rocky Bleier. Harris (1,128 yards/14 TDs and Bleier (1,026 yards/5 TDs) were basically the entire offense, as the leading receiver (Lynn Swann) had a mere 516 yards and three scores. On a defense that included five All Pros

Bradshaw threw three TD passes, two of them to Swann and Reggie Harrison had two rushing scores. Harrison was in due to injuries in the game to Harris and Bleier. Unfortunately, No. 46 and the Steelers weren’t as productive without the pair of 1K rushers the next week in the AFC Championship against Oakland. The Raiders went on to play Minnesota in SB XI, while Steeler Nation saw one of their best teams in franchise history wonder what might have been.Pro Bowlers: Mel Blount, Terry Bradshaw, Glen Edwards, Joe Greene, L.
