When a team drafts a player to replace a starter, usually that starter isn’t very happy. More often than not, they’re distant with the rookie, seeing them as competition and working to prove the team made a mistake by drafting them. This can most often be seen when a team drafts a quarterback in the first round to replace an aging star. With the Steelers drafting Troy Fautanu in the first round, it would be easy to assume that the man who he could replace, Dan Moore Jr., would want nothing to do with him. That is, in fact, not true at all and shows once again why you should never assume.
