Pittsburgh Steelers: Offseason expectations for each staff member
Kevin Colbert
Kevin Colbert makes great moves in the draft, questionable moves in the draft and absolutely no moves in the offseason. Yeah, Morgan Burnett and Jon Bostic were added this offseason, but neither were impressive based on who was available during the spring.
This team could’ve added a star at safety in Tyrann Mathieu for a little more than they signed Burnett for. This team would’ve been a different unit if they didn’t have that whole on defense and that’s Colbert’s fault for not taking a chance.
His draft moves are hit and miss as well. You get the gems like T.J. Watt and James Conner, but you also see reaches like Bud Dupree and Artie Burns (and possibly Terrell Edmunds). The talent in the 2019 NFL Draft is unreal and having Colbert make one of his risky decisions is something the Steelers cannot have over the offseason.
Chances are Colbert doesn’t lose his job but he should. This team can find a general manager just as good, at bare minimum, and have less mistakes made. Plus, they need someone who’s going to pull the trigger on an offseason signing, whether it’s the “Steelers way” or not.

They’ll miss opportunities again this offseason and if 2019 is as disappointing as this year, he’ll be removed from his duties.
