The Pittsburgh Steelers entered the 2024 NFL Draft with a need at tackle, and preferably a right tackle as GM Omar Khan already stated his desire to move Broderick Jones back to the left side. Their plan isn’t so clear and obvious after drafting Washington OT Troy Fautanu, who played the vast majority of his time in college at left tackle.
Former Steelers guard Trai Essex appeared on 93.7 The Fan’s Morning Show on Friday and was asked how he sees things playing out with Jones and Fautanu at left and right tackle.
“If I had to play a game tomorrow, I would be like Broderick at left tackle and put Troy at right tackle,” Essex said.
