The Pittsburgh Steelers put a strong emphasis on the trenches during the 2024 NFL Draft, selecting three offensive linemen as well as a defensive lineman and a linebacker with five of their first six picks. The first two offensive linemen they selected, OT Troy Fautanu and C Zach Frazier, are expected to contribute immediately this season. Frazier is expected to be the team’s Day 1 starting center while Fautanu is battling incumbent Dan Moore Jr. for the starting tackle spot opposite of Broderick Jones.
Pittsburgh’s third drafted offensive lineman, OG Mason McCormick, is in a different spot. A fourth-round pick out of South Dakota State, McCormick, 24, is as experienced as they come, having played in 70 games in college.
