Leading into the three-day 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit, it seemed rather unlikely that the Pittsburgh Steelers would somehow be able to address the offensive tackle position in the first round, and then eventually land one of the top centers in round two, unless they traded up.
So, when the Steelers selected Washington’s Troy Fautanu at No. 20 overall on Thursday night in the first round, it set in motion plenty of debates regarding how the Steelers were going to address center on Day Two.
Even The Athletic’s Mark Kaboly suggested on 93.7 The Fan that Friday afternoon leading into the draft that he just didn’t believe the Steelers were going to land a center on Day Two.
