Troy Fautanu
23-Year-Old
Taken 20th overall by Pittsburgh
The Steelers selected Fautanu in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 20th overall.
ANALYSIS
Fautanu was a dominant left tackle at Washington but he slipped in the draft order due to measuring in slightly under 6-foot-4 at the combine (6-foot-3 and 3/4). Fautanu will still be listed at 6-foot-4 and more importantly boasts above-average arm length (34 and 1/2 inches). Fautanu may very well be Pittsburgh's eventual left tackle of the future depending on where the career of incumbent left tackle Dan Moore goes from here, but in the meantime Fautanu should provide Pittsburgh with a major upgrade at guard.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might be in Seattle's sights
Fautanu could be a top option for the Seahawks with the 16th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The Washington offensive lineman has been projected to go in the first round, but Seattle may have the most insight into his ability to become a franchise tackle in the NFL after it added former Huskies offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb and offensive line coach Scott Huff to the staff this offseason. Fautanu could wind up sliding in the draft, however, as Albert Breer of SI.com reports that some teams have flagged a medical issue with his knee that could impact his longevity.
