    He will probably play RT, and they can move Jones to LT.

    I legitimately wonder if they selected him on his name alone. J/k - probably.

    Played right tackle. Protected Penix's blind side. Penix is left handed.

    I did not see the Steelers taking a Guard in the 1st round.

    Dan Moore lives to fight another Day.

    We know you're upset they didn't take a CB.

    Oooh... I don't like it. I think Fautanu is made for guard, which is the one OL position we're good with currently.

    But he's got great athleticism and is tenacious. So I'll hope for that to shine through in spades.

    One thing. Let's not talk about the best players available again. We took what was left at T, and there was many many BPA at other positions, and no not just CB.

    The shots I've seen he was Left.

    I get what you're saying about the playstyle, but everything is mirrored when you move to the right.

    Why we took Troy over Baron is a bit head scratching.

    Works for me. No chance of the best centers dropping to 51, though.

    Still have 4 or 5 teams that need o-line help, but outside of Barton the value may not be there this round. Guyton. probably.

    He was primarily a tackle in college. Some projections have him settling in a guard, but I would be very surprised if he isn't a tackle for the Steelers.

    I’ve seen more than one pre draft write up that suggested that Troy’s optimal position in the NFL could be center.

    Would have preferred Barton right there, but don't hate this pick. Hard to get excited about a tackle though
