The Pittsburgh Steelers used their first-round draft pick on T Troy Fautanu, and followed that up in the second round with C Zach Frazier. Rarely have they ever invested so heavily in the offensive line—in fact, paired with last year, it’s a unique occurrence.
The Steelers already made team history by using back-to-back first-round picks on the offensive line. They also drafted T Broderick Jones in the first round last year, trading up three spots to 14. The closest they came was two first-round picks in a three-year period, in 2010 and 2012.
The 2012 NFL Draft is the last and only other time the Steelers drafted offensive linemen in the first two rounds, selecting G David DeCastro in the first and T Mike Adams in the second (and T Kelvin Beachum in the seventh).
