CTM Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Never followed up on this , but wow Factoid of the Week That May Interest Only Me Thanks to Mike Florio for sending me scurrying to the 2010 draft, and the incredible tributaries from a single late-round trade. It just shows how smart Pittsburgh director of football operations Kevin Colbert is. In 2009, the Jets traded fourth- and fifth-round picks to the Eagles for cornerback Lito Sheppard and a fifth-round pick in the 2010 draft, the 155th overall pick. In 2010, the Steelers traded wide receiver Santonio Holmes to the Jets for that fifth-round pick, the 155th in the draft. The Steelers took that 155th selection on draft weekend and traded it to Arizona for cornerback Bryant McFadden and a sixth-round pick -- the 195th overall. With the 195th pick, Pittsburgh chose wide receiver/kick returner Antonio Brown. In 2010, McFadden started all 16 regular-season games at left cornerback for Pittsburgh's Super Bowl team. In 2011, Brown started at wide receiver for the Steelers, finishing 15th in the league with 1,108 receiving yards, while being one of the best punt- and kick-returners in the league -- 10.8 yards per punt return, 27.3 yards per kick return. He's the first player in the history of the NFL to have more than 1,000 yards receiving and returning in the same year. Colbert turned a late fifth-round pick into one Super Bowl starter and one long-term explosive receiver and returner. That's a valuable personnel man.

whodeawhodat Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 When your 6th round pick winds up being the 15th leading receiver in the league, you tend to look like a genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyB Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 When your 6th round pick winds up being the 15th leading receiver in the league, you tend to look like a genius. How about when an undrafted FA leads the league in receiving yards. Damn good GMing. And the accountant??? Clueless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neckdemon Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 hey mike t turned the 6tgh overall pick into vernon gholston and a second round pick into a huge lineman who is stuck behind all-pro wayne hunter, and traded up to the 5th to draft a qb who is an amazing hot dog eater.
