Round 1 (No. 20 overall) — Troy Fautanu, OT, Washington : An All-Pac-12 performer with sweet feet, Fautanu has All-Pro ability and the versatility to thrive at tackle or guard on either side of the line – and the Steelers can use the help pretty much anywhere. But if this team, despite its high-profile quarterback acquisitions this offseason, is going to get back to its roots as a run-heavy force under new OC Arthur Smith, bolstering its front five makes all the sense in the world.

Round 2 (51) — Zach Frazier, C, West Virginia : They continue to remake their offensive line with an All-Big 12 performer and former wrestler from just across the border. Frazier and fellow rookie Troy Fautanu join a front five that added OT Broderick Jones last year. Expect this team to run more and more effectively in 2023. Draft tracker
Round 3 (84) — Roman Wilson, WR, Michigan : The Wolverines’ big-play guy in recent years courtesy of 4.4 speed, a run-heavy offense still limited his opportunities (48 catches for 789 yards and 12 TDs in 2023). Though Wilson (5-11, 185) often operated from the slot, he’s a premier deep threat , yet will probably need to expand his route tree in offensive schemes that will demand more than he had to provide at Michigan. But with Diontae Johnson gone, he's competing with Van Jefferson and Quez Watkins for WR2/3 snaps. Draft tracker
Round 3 (98, special compensatory selection from Eagles) — Payton Wilson, LB, NC State : Medical issues knocked the ACC's 2023 defensive player of player of the year down the board. Wilson, who also won the Bednarik and Butkus Awards last season , can do it all – from blitzing, covering or chasing down a ball carrier. The question will be how long his body will hold up.
