Even with some opportunities to move up or trade down from No. 20 overall, the Pittsburgh Steelers sat tight and landed their guy, selecting Washington offensive lineman Troy Fautanu Thursday night in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
For the second year in a row, the Steelers addressed the offensive line in the first round, making franchise history in the process, with the selection of Fautanu.
Though there is a question of where he lines up in Pittsburgh, whether that’s at left tackle or right tackle, or maybe even guard or center despite what head coach Mike Tomlin said Thursday night following the selection, the Steelers landed a physical, old-school style player that brings great intensity to the group and plays with a real edge.
