Player: G Nate Herbig
Stock Value: Down
Reasoning: The Steelers absolutely suffocated any hopes of starting this season Nate Herbig may have entertained last night. After repeatedly volunteering his name in discussions about centers, Pittsburgh prioritized a second-round center. Zach Frazier in all likelihood immediately steps into the starting lineup, leaving Herbig’s career center snap count under 60.
but he may still be their backup center.
One could argue that the Steelers were somewhat fortunate C Zach Frazier was available at 51. With Graham Barton and Jackson Powers-Johnson (drafted as a guard) both off the board, Frazier represented the last center deemed to be in the “first tier” in this year’s class.
