The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Washington OT Troy Fautanu with the 20th pick of the 2024 NFL Draft. Several tackles were taken ahead of him in the draft, and the position was starting to run thin, but the Steelers stuck with their pick and selected Fautanu. Because of the number of tackles taken ahead of him, it would be reasonable to wonder if this was a reach, but GM Omar Khan shut down any possible speculation in his press conference on the Steelers YouTube page following the pick.
“Position aside, he was the highest rated guy on our board,” Khan said.
