The Steelers maintained their focus on the trenches in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, selecting Washington offensive tackle Troy Fautanu with the 20th overall selection.
Fautanu, an All-Pac-12 First Team member in 2023, fell down draft boards in the first round due to injury concerns, but he remains a highly athletic lineman who has been projected as a starting-caliber player at every offensive line position from left tackle to center by NFL analysts.
Troy Fautanu was drafted with pick 20 of round 1 in the 2024 draft class.
