Draft King Analysis
I think Pittsburgh had the most underrated draft of 2004 (besides perhaps only the Titans). They stood pat at #11 and had a possible Top 4 QB fall to them. In Round 2 they took a small school guy in Colclough, but he is the real deal and fills a need. Starks and Adibi are both players who I thought could go higher, and in particular getting Adibi at #145 I think is a huge steal. The Steelers filled immediate needs, planned for the future, and didn't do anything crazy or careless to make it happen. In my book, that's the makings of a successful draft.
