- On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Mike's Beer Bar, host Christopher Carter and Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo react to the Steelers' NFL draft haul. Are first-round pick Troy Fautanu and second-round Zach Frazier likely to slide right into starting roles along the offensive line? What grades do GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin deserve for the class that also includes WR Roman Wilson, LB Payton Wilson, G Mason McCormick, DT Logan Lee and DB Ryan Watts? And is a reunion with Cam Sutton possible amid reports that he's met with the team since his release by the Detroit Lions? Our duo tackles those topics and more.

Andy Weidel built the Eagles O-line and now he’s building our line..
We better enjoy Andy Weidl while we have him. It won't be long before some team hires him to be their GM.
The Weidel Way !
@@jasonmoore587I agree especially when Omar gets all the credit
Does that come with tush-pushes?
Keep an eye on Beanie bishop as slot CB
Zach Frazier will start in week one. He's that good.
You all did a fantastic job during the draft coverage and I really enjoyed you guys insight, interaction with viewers and reactions to the picks. Keep up the good work.
Troy will be a fan favorite by mid season, if not earlier.
Already is 🙌🏼
Three or four of the rookies will either start from day one or very early in the season. They won't look like rookies when the postseason starts. As Myron Cope said, the terrible towel is poised to strike and so are the Steelers! This team is ready to make a deep playoff run!
Not with these QBs. But it begins in the trenches.
Maybe even 5 with beanie bishop in the slot
Jones/mccormick/frazier/Anderson/fautanu…. Full line drafted within 2 years of each other, the chemistry should be unmatched by the time they’re all on their second contracts. Praying they all progress properly
During Cowher's 15 years, I can't speak to who made the decisions, the Steelers drafted an offensive lineman in the first or second round 8 times. By doing this they avoided overpaying for good but not great lineman. You let those guys go in free agency and plug in a draft pick. They even let Faneca go. They should go back to that philosophy. Pay your 2 most important guys and plug draft picks in around them.
Cowher never had an eight year drought in playoff wins either.. Also he only had Ben for 3 years
Cowher also drafted 8 twice and 11 once or twice
Everyone seems so high on our last 2 draft classes. Feels too good to be true.
I mean, we haven’t really gone against the grain since that najee pick🤷🏻♂️
@@lucascoxe1481 - a lot of division on the KP pick
Honestly, last year’s draft could be the franchise altering class… every player made the team… 5 of 7 contributed and delivered…
If this class can do the same we might have something special in the making…
@@graysonbrown9778 - repeating that success with this class puts them in a great position for next year by loading up with cheap talent giving them the flexibility to pay Fields (IF and only IF he proves it) or getting a franchise QB trading up or trading for a vet if an opportunity presents itself.
Chris I love listening to you and admire your knowledge. Chris I am very disappointed even talking about Cam Sutton. I hope we are not that hard up to even consider him.
He did not get charged
It’s not over yet it was changed to a misdemeanor
I agree! Cam Sutton looked bad last season in Detroit. He was a big reason they lost. His coverage was bad.
These guys will likey start simoly because of how much experience they both have and how the positions translate a bit faster than CB does. Jones didnt have as much experience.
One thing that having an AWESOME draft does is leave you tons of money to sign free agents. So let's see where Khan goes from here!
Keep Moore as back up to BJones and possible at LG if Issac doesn’t return after 2025
Moore's contract is up after this year.
The Pickett fence is Complete but at what cost 😢😢😢
Omg 😂😂
No one still knows who Arthur Maulett is 😂😂
Sorry, but the Frazier pick is a freaking A.
Cam is entering into a deferment plan in which adjudication is postponed. He has to do a bunch of things like anger mgmt, dom violence program, and therapy. If he follows all of the rules, he is never convicted of a crime.
It's so unethical to do this, selecting a 1st round Left tackle knowing you are going to move them into a 2nd or 3rd round position and pay, really low down shit, teams that draft 1st round players don't devalue them by moving them to lesser positions, Steelers front office really showed their true colors on this one, these players are expendable to the Steelers brass, it's different when a first round Lt fails on the field justifying the change to RT, but drafting to do this all along is classless, at the very least, whichever ends up at RT, hopefully the Steelers will give them a big kiss, cause they sure screwed them out of money and a lesser valued career, that's just the truth, very unethical and classless decision making by the Steelers and obviously you have to question the entire Steelers narrative that they care about the players so much when they do sneaky classless stuff like this so obviously, just wow, imagine doing this in any other profession, hello lawsuits, discrimination, etc. Just wow I never would have believed they would actually do this to one of these young men as if their careers and them matter so little and the player deserves no career respect ..the con artist couldn't be more true
No. OL men take a few years. Jones was terrible last year and that was to be expected. The fans and the local sports talking heads acting like they are in win now mode is fantasy land stuff. That has actually been their problem for years, is wildly unrealistic expectations.
The decision to sign Russell Wilson says you're completely wrong. The decision to pick older draft picks says you're completely wrong. Saying Broderick Jones was "terrible" because he showed growing pains as a 21 year old 1st round draft pick... says you're not only clueless 🙄 but also says you didn't even listen to the episode. Your opinion is unqualified and unwarranted. Cool story tho bro
@@TheFactsMobjones being drafted in first round wasn’t because he was ready, was because of his potential
Plus we played him on the right more. If we would’ve grabbed Mims, he would’ve been a project as well. Steelers are doing a lot of very intentional moves and building from the future and reloading quick. I’m really excited for the youth of our line and it’s only going to help our run game tremendously
Thank u. Someone.
You..got it right
Jones was not terrible last year what the hell are you talking about...
@@jalildowdy2895 lol yeah he was.
Realistically, we don't even know if they make it through training camp. Past that if they're going to be any good...
We thought Dotson sucked, turned out the coaching sucked and he made a pro bowl..
That is not realistic. Not even in the slightest. Possible, yes. But not realistic.
@@jtfike your comment made zero sense
@@jtfike you're going to guarantee every draft pick makes it through camp injury free, and is good enough to compete for or aquire a starting job???
Then also guarantee they're actually good???
Ya my comment was way of base.... You a Biden voter for sure..
