The Steelers are obviously struggling at 1-4 and are off to one of their worst starts in decades.
They also just had their worst loss this past Sunday since 1989 losing to the Buffalo Bills 38-3.
Many fans blame offensive coordinator Matt Canada for the lack of scoring.
The defense is also giving up too many yards in the run game and a hurt secondary is also giving up big plays.
While there are many reasons for the organization's current woes, the team's poor drafting over the past half-decade is really starting to hurt the team.
Steelers writer Tommy Jaggi of Fansided pointed out in a tweet how bad the Steelers have been at getting a good pick or being able to keep that player after their rookie contract.
34 players drafted from 2015-2019 are either gone or performing below average.
Only four players are considered about average, cornerback Cam Sutton, safety Terrell Edmunds, offensive lineman Chuks Okorafor and receiver Diontae Johnson are graded "above average" and only linebacker T.J. Watt is graded "great".
Former NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky pointed out on Wednesday that the Steelers have been "not smart", taking zero offensive linemen during that time.
Gone are first-round pick center Maurkice Pouncey and first-round guard David DeCastro.
So if you're wondering why the Steelers are starting to have to pay the piper, poor drafting is a big reason for their struggles.
