Round 2 - C, WR, CB or DL?

[SteelerOfDeVille]

Have the Steelers ever drafted OL in the first two rounds. I don't think it ever happened at least in the SB era.

If Fautanu wasn't there would we have drafted Barton? What if Barton and Fautanu were gone at #20 would we have taken Fraizer or Johnson?

If we hear a trade up in the 2nd by the Steelers then it will be a center? That's what I believe otherwise it will be a CB or DT at 51.

I saw an insider say Guyton was their next option, not Barton... Sounds like they were sticking to positional values as they stand (OT is more likely a 1st round pick where C is typically rounds 2/3)

As a side note, they also haven't drafted OL in the first 2 consecutive years. But, they just did.

I'd love to see how their board stacks - bringing JPJ in late almost indicates that they realized there's a chance he's on the board at 51...

Realistically, I think either JPJ or Frazier will fall to us @ 51.

Then we go WR and slot CB in Round 3.

That would be ideal.

Zero doubt to me they get one of the top two C left in the draft in round Two.

Depending how the board played out, I always felt they were going T and C in the first two rounds and then 2 receivers in round 3. Time will tell.

Van-Pran Granger in Round 3

If Troy wasn't there I would think Mitchell would likely have been the selection. I was wrong because I thought it would be Mitchell. I'm good with the T and believe he'll likely start quickly.

The Steelers waited long into the clock before submitting the pick. I would assume that they already knew that Fautanu was high up their board so that wasn't the delay. My thinking was that they were fielding trade offers. I wonder who was calling and who they were looking at grabbing.

I have a sneaking suspicion they go Defense (CB, DL, LB) in the 2nd.

Based on who I expect to be around, Braden Fiske is the clubhouse leader with a sales pitch of "we told ya we want to be physical"

They looked a a lot of round 3/4 centers during the draft process, so they knew that taking one of the top ones wasn't the only option.

Connor Williams is still out there as a FA during a year where the center draft is deep; meaning he will have a smaller than typical market for a player of his caliber

Based on their commentary during the press conference?
Tomlin wanted him ("we weren't moving off Troy")
Omar wanted to field calls
I think Tomlin said something about how Omar wore him out.
