The Pittsburgh Steelers under GM Omar Khan and assistant GM Andy Weidl have invested heavily in the offensive line room in recent years, both through the draft and in free agency.
They’ve spent first-round picks in back-to-back years on Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu, added the likes of Zach Frazier and Mason McCormick in the second and fourth rounds, and signed Isaac Seumalo in free agency. The investments have been made in the trenches.
The return on investment hasn’t shown up, at least through two weeks of the season.
For The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo, talent isn’t an issue.
