I first learned to respect Kevin Colbert's opinions when he brought Jeff Hartings with him from Detroit. Hartings wasn't a known commodity to me then since I'm more of an AFC guy, but I quickly became aware of just how good he was. Colbert knew he had talent and needed to be on a good team to be recognized. Reports are coming out that Hartings has played his last down as a Steeler. I wish him well. This move also makes the draft quite interesting. If Tomlin wants to go 4-3 in the next 2-3 years, I think he'll be forced to take a DL. However, if Rooney and LeBeau are in his ear to keep the 3-4 alive and well, we may see a center as the first pick as Okobi may not be the guy to lead us into the future. True, he may be a stop-gap, but for goodness sakes - he's been there a lot of years already and probably isn't considered the center for the next 6 years or so.
