Trade News: Pittsburgh Steelers have Land a new deal with Oregon State $145M
If the Steelers don’t select a wide receiver, center, or offensive lineman in the first round, it will be shocking. Those seem to be the three spots they are aiming for.
“By the time the Steelers are on the clock, Troye Fuaga might already be gone.” However, if he is here, this is a layup; he can start at right tackle while Broderick Jones, the first-round pick from last year, can switch to the left side, where he was a player at Georgia, noted Wilson.
At the Senior Bowl, Mike Tomlin showed a particular interest in the large Oregon State lineman named Fuaga, who most believe will start right tackle straight away for the Steelers.
Fuaga described doing drills with Tomlin barking over his shoulder as “crazy.” “The other day, during the interviews, I got to meet Mike Tomlin. It was quite unexpected. It surprised me that he was there. Having the opportunity to speak with him in person was quite surreal because I had Steelers supporters in my family.
At the Senior Bowl, he allayed worries about it.
“I think all I can say is as long as you can stop your guy in front of you at the end of the day,” he remarked. “Anybody here is capable of defeating anybody.” If your technique is working, all it takes to stop someone is to just go out there on a tackle set.
For the first time, Tomlin and Khan remained behind in Corvallis, Oregon as the Steelers sent offensive line coach Pat Meyer to see the Beavers’ pro day of the free agent contact period
Naturally, there’s no assurance that the Steelers will have Fuaga as a choice. He is currently ranked No. 15 overall according to the NFL Mock Draft Database average.
