Kevin Colbert reflete sobre escolhas de final de draft para os Steelers

O ex-gerente geral do Pittsburgh Steelers, Kevin Colbert, abordou os desafios de identificar talentos em rodadas finais durante um almoço recente em Pittsburgh. Ele enfatizou que muitos jogadores de sucesso superaram as expectativas iniciais da equipe. Colbert destacou vários exemplos notáveis de sua gestão.

Colbert falou no evento no início deste mês. Ele observou que jogadores como Brett Keisel, Antonio Brown e Kelvin Beachum provaram que o processo de observação estava mais errado do que certo.

“Quando você fala sobre descobrir escolhas tardias, essas escolhas provaram que estávamos mais errados do que certos”, disse Colbert. Ele acrescentou que a equipe teria escolhido esses jogadores mais cedo se o potencial deles tivesse sido totalmente reconhecido.

Colbert também mencionou agentes livres não draftados, incluindo James Harrison e Willie Parker. Ele creditou aos próprios jogadores o mérito por superarem as projeções, em vez de reivindicar crédito pelas seleções.

O ex-gerente geral descreveu o processo de draft como inerentemente difícil, com as escolhas de primeira rodada obtendo sucesso apenas cerca de metade das vezes.
