I expect Fautanu
Drunken Cowboy
Footballguy
I want one of the Mitchells
3C's
Footballguy
I want no part of AD at 20. And I'll be ok if someone else takes him.
Leeroy Jenkins
Footballguy
Could be a trade back.
Drunken Cowboy
Footballguy
Let's hope.
Drunken Cowboy
Footballguy
Turner made a ton of sense
Leeroy Jenkins
Footballguy
Fautanu
Black and Gold
Footballguy
I want Mitchell
Drunken Cowboy
Footballguy
Me too, or trade down
Drunken Cowboy
Footballguy
As C?
Drunken Cowboy
Footballguy
I hate it
Black and Gold
Footballguy
I don't hate it. Trade up and get our C
Drunken Cowboy
Footballguy
He is the C. No way he sticks at T
3C's
Footballguy
Might not even take a trade up. No centers off the board yet and plenty of quality defensive players and wide receivers left. Might get lucky and have one fall to 51.
Black and Gold
Footballguy
Nah... he'll start at T.
Has he ever taken a snap?
Drunken Cowboy
Footballguy
He is 6'3''. He is not an NFL tackle.

Even if he ends up playing guard or center, it's a good pick. The Steelers OL has significantly improved. Given their new O coordinator and playmakers, OL was the way to go in the first round.

So is this a good pick? I know nothing about him.

I assume they are okay with him if he's forced to go inside (likely G, but if he potentially can play C? Maybe. No idea if he can/can't. Thought him taking snaps at his pro day was the first time he ever did it) or they wouldn't have selected him.
I'm fine with it. He's a good player, has an edge to him, and is probably a better fit athletically in Artie's wide zone scheme than Barton would be regardless of playing T, G or whatever.
Still really like Frazier at C though. He's a bad, bad man when he straps on the headgear.

Very good...if the medical concerns become nothing to worry about.
Brugler's #9 overall player. Jeremiah's #11 overall player.
Both comment in their writeup on him that he can play all 5 starting positions if needed.
So yes.

He was a really good player in college. It may be a "boring" pick, but it's "good." Not like he's Jamain Stephens, or something.

And Kiper had him at #10, able to play all positions.
karl.Racki

Only issue I have is he has had a boat load of injuries..
Drunken Cowboy
Footballguy
I would probably move Daniels to C and play him at G. This would make me move from hate to just bad. Mitchell is a top CB. He should have gone top 10. There are other interior OL that could be found in the 3rd or later. CB is a premium position and a bigger need.

ACL injury history is a red flag.
Drunken Cowboy
Footballguy
It was fun to watch him get drafted.

I think Mims goes to the Bengals and Fuaga is long gone,
NFL.com shoes 6'4 317, with 34.5 inch arms. Everyone Slater to end up at guard because he's even smaller and he hasnt. He's not too small to play tackle if they want him there.
steelcityman
Footballguy
6'4'' and he is a tackle.
3C's
Footballguy
Look at Nostradamus here...

Footballguy
At 6'5" Barton is too tall to be a center and at 6'4" Fautanu is too short to be a tackle. Kinda silly really.
NorrisB
Footballguy
Looks like that got saved and didnt post it lol. I did post in the Bengals thread that we're (Im a Bengals fan) taking Mims before the draft.

SCOUTING REPORT: SUMMARY
Troy Fautanu has established himself as a premier pass protector, showcasing exceptional footwork, agility, and the ability to neutralize advanced pass rush techniques. His ability to maintain pocket integrity is a standout trait His technique in pass sets, especially his hand usage and ability to redirect rushers, reflects a high football IQ and adaptability on the line.
However, transitioning to the run game, Fautanu's tape shows areas for growth. While he possesses the requisite burst and mobility for effective run blocking, his execution lacks consistency. To elevate his game, focusing on refining his pad level, drive, and hand placement will be crucial. Developing a more consistent anchor and enhancing his ability to generate push at the line of scrimmage will round out his skill set, making him a more complete lineman.
From a draft perspective, Fautanu's quality in pass protection positions him favorably, with the potential for an early selection. His skill set offers immediate value, particularly for teams emphasizing pass-heavy offenses. If he can bridge the gap between his pass-protection excellence and run-blocking potential, Fautanu could evolve into a complete lineman,
Given the demand for solid pass-protecting tackles in the NFL he probably won't last past day one.

Run blocking is getting in the way of the defender and the ball, walling them off, no OL just moves a 325 pound DL around. Steelers now have 2 tackles who are quick, one in Jones who can do it all, and the other, the Tribal Chief, who will get coached up and be super quick, pissed off and pack a punch. He'll be fine.
I just wonder how they are gonna add a good WR and a C. Assume they can trade up for 1 of them, but not sure how to get both. Unless they like someone not named JPJ or Frazier.
Van Pran and Nourzad are good options IMO.
Pearsall to 9ers, might signal a trade of one of their WRs is coming. I really wanted him for Steelers at 51, I was way off!
