NFL draft: Did Steelers nail it with Troy Fautanu? Time to get Jackson Powers-Johnson, Zach Frazier?
In his daily First 10 podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey reacts to the Steelers' selection of Washington OT Troy Fautanu in the first round of the NFL draft Thursday night in Detroit. Was tackle the right position to target, given all of the team's other needs -- particularly at center? How big of an asset will it be to have to first-round tackles in Fautanu and 2023 top pick Broderick Jones? And how important is it for GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin to grab a center like Jackson Powers-Johnson or Zach Frazier in the second round Friday? Jason tackles all of those questions and more, then gets into the Pirates. Specifically, he ponders free agent additions Aroldis Chapman and Rowdy Tellez and the reasons why they're off to such slow starts with their new team.
