The Pittsburgh Steelers draft haul was regarded as one of the best in the NFL, and one of the key pieces was second-round pick Zach Frazier, a West Virginia product who can slide right in as Pittsburgh’s starting center. Just 15 picks before the Steelers took Frazier, the Washington Commanders took DL Johnny Newton out of Illinois, a player who was expected to go in the first round but slid into the second. Frazier also had some first-round buzz heading into the draft, and the matchup between the two talented second-round picks was named one of the best rookie matchups of the season by The Athletic’s Chris Burke.
