Well, I think this shows what is obvious! A good diamond in the rough of the draft makes a great team! None of these players came from free agency and most of them are on the 1st contract!

Thats why teams like Steelers, Pats,, Ravens , Chargers and COlts are always in the top!

You left Troy off?

And James Farrior? Come on man. Troy and James?

I think the perfect steeler defense is the same 11 guys we put out there last year

Ward?

I love Ward, but if I undertand your post you are looking for bargains, so I think a guy like Calvin in Detroit will be much better.
Also Brees as Qb, will come much much cheaper.

Well, I was going to do a Steeler team with the loved ones plus some bargain

But then I tried to focus on the bargains we can get on draft. !You see None of the players are from bad teams, and they are mostly in the 1st contract! So Keep it up Rooneys, the draft is the way! Well, Until 2010.
