The Pittsburgh Steelers got themselves a player valued a lot higher than pick 20.
It was apparent coming into the night that the Pittsburgh Steelers were going to address their offensive issues along the offensive line. The ultimate question was centered around what position they would be targeting first and with the supposed offensive tackle run expecting to be quick and fierce, it was surprising to see them nab a player of Troy Fautanu ’s caliber.
“A two-year starter at Washington, Fautanu manned the left tackle position in former offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb’s pass-centric scheme. After playing as a backup his first three years with the Huskies, he was an All-Pac-12performer the last two seasons and was awarded the 2023 Morris Trophy . With his lower-body agility and flexible hips/knees, Fautanu displays athletic muscle twitch in his pass sets and when pulling and locating in the run game.
“Ready-made brawler without an ounce of finesse in his game. Fautanu has starting experience at tackle and guard and is well-coached, but he will default to unruly hand-fighting when his technique gets away from him. He plays with average hand placement and can be beaten by length, but his tenacity and footwork keep him connected to base blocks. He’s capable of getting to reach blocks in zone and chaperoning running backs wide as a pulling guard on the next level.
