- Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo joins assistant sports editor Adam Bittner to react to the Steelers' selection of Washington OT Troy Fautanu on Day 1 of the NFL draft. Will he start from Day 1 at right tackle? Or will he need time to develop like Broderick Jones did a year ago? How soon will Fautanu's selection allow Jones to work from the left side? And where does Dan Moore Jr. fit in this mix? Was Fautanu the tackle GM Omar Khan and Mike Tomlin had their eye on from the start? Or were names like JC Latham, Taliese Fuaga and Amarius Mims higher on their big board?
Our duo tackles those questions, then gets into the team's Day 2 needs. Could the Steelers trade up in the second round for a center prospect like Jackson Powers-Johnson or Zach Frazier? Does the run on projected Day 2 receivers like Ricky Pearsall and Xavier Legette add pressure to select guys like Roman Wilson and Malachi Corley while they're available? And are there any other Day 2 names Ray is watching?

Really really love this pick
Great pick!

Good chance powers-Johnson &/or Frazier are there at 51 with the teams ahead of us. Carolina & Arizona need centers but have bigger needs. have to wait & see.

You mean Ray your Pittsburgh clicker 😂😂
Let’s not under appreciate the fact that Assistant GM, Andy Weidl’s believes in building a championship offense by starting with the OL. There is no question in my mind that Andy’s influence is all over the choice of selecting Troy in round one to fortify the OL.
Come on man! It goes without saying that OC, Arthur Smith is smiling ear right now. We may see him do a back flip if Omar can get his blue chip center tonight. Having Broderick and Troy as the Steelers’ book ends on the OL, in addition to getting their blue chip center, will allow new OC, Arthur Smith to be creative with his play calling.
Now imagine how Najee and Jaylen will feel when they see that Omar, Andy and coach Tomlin turn the OL into one of the top five in the league.
We need ILB…grab Cooper or Colson to pair with Queen
They like 50. Roberts. Holcomb be back and they'll rotate the 3. If they take an inside guy it'll be one of the 6ths
I really don’t understand some having issues with this Pick. Dude is a hard nosed nasty Dawg. Him and Jones are going to be real forces to deal with for years to come.

It's a supernatural delight
Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody here is out of sight
They don't bark and they don't bite
They keep things loose, they keep things alight
Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight
Dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody's feelin' warm and right
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight
We like our fun and we never fight
You can't dance and stay uptight
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight
Dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody's feelin' warm and right
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody here is outta sight
They don't bark and they don't bite
They keep things loose, they keep things aight
Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody's feelin' warm and right

The Titles of DRAMA 😂😂
If I were the Steelers I would try whatever I could to trade up and get AD Mitchell before he’s gone. If we filled 2 holes with Fautanu and Mitchell I would be ecstatic!!
Offense uses RB and TE more…no use trading if it doesn’t fit the scheme…think who the was WR2 to Deebo in Tennessee….exactly
@@amsey3700 I think regardless of scheme you need at least Two good WRs in today’s NFL. Even more if you factor in injuries which are going to happen. If we don’t have an above average number two then every team will just double or triple Pickens and we won’t be able to throw the ball. And if we can’t throw the ball it makes it easier to predict and stop the run.
@@usmcyounggun6879 that’s impossible, their is usually a vast difference between WR1 & WR2
@@amsey3700 it’s impossible to have two good WR’s? Well that’s news to me and a lot of teams in the NFL. The Eagles, and Dolphins, etc…will be surprised to hear this I’m sure.
@@usmcyounggun6879 Waddle had like 4 TDs. Smith barely had 80 catches and 1000 yards. Serviceable. After they paid AJ Brown do you think Smith getting paid…nope & he will leave the eagles just like Tee Higgins & Aiyuk are leaving
I would wait until JPJ / Fraizer get picked then immediately trade up to get who’s left
Roman Wilson is too small to block…Luke or Rice can be grabbed in the 3rd…A few long lean CB will be sitting there in the 3rd as well. Just imagine have 2 solid inside LB’s
I'm Seahawks fan but the Steelers won the draft IMO. Look out K C.
Nah he’ll be bust!
You’re one of those guys who sees everything negative and leaves hate everywhere you go I bet
Will he start??? LOL. He could be the best player ever, but MT won’t start him. Not till after they lose 8 games. Then he’ll start.
Nah, he starts..
Yeah he starts asap trust me
Broderick didn’t start because we had Chuks & Moore
@@amsey3700 and because he was raw
@@blakewillie6331 well Troy ain’t raw…he’s plug and play…Bookend 1st rd tackles…Najee & Jalen will put up 2500 rush yds combined this year because they put up 1800 last year with a bad OC & average oline
Not taking graham barton will haunt us. Most cant miss guy in draft and the most needed position for us. Don't understand it
Hell No, it will not haunt the Steelers 🛑 it so u don’t believe in Khan, we trust this pick is legit hiss ⬆️ side is better than Barton
@@williamhill1030 no I do that trust khan. Who is our QB in 2025. They aren't picking up fields 5th yr ext. Also I can't believe our wr depth right now. It's horrible. Plus now if we get lucky enough that Zach Frazier falls to us in 2nd rd that means it won't be till 3rd rd for a wr and we won't get somebody there who will be a #2 next year. Not to mention we needed to come out of this draft with a #2 or 3 CB. There are good OT who will go in 3rd and 4th rd. It needed to be Barton rd 1 WR rd 2 then CB and OT in rd 3. Taking a OT in rd 1 has made it almost impossible to fill our C WR CB holes in this draft. The only thing that can help us is if Cory trice is the real deal.
@@jacktheripper8817. Exactly
You don't understand it? It's obvious that the Steelers had Fautanu higher on their board than Barton and that is why
Who wax WR2 in Tennessee to Deebo…exactly, this new offense ain’t built on WR…pay attention
