Omar Khan got his guys. It just took some breathing exercises to get there. Khan admitted he was sweating out Washington OT Troy Fautanu falling to the team at No. 20 in the first round, projected by many to go inside the Top 15. A similar story played out in the second round, West Virginia C Zach Frazier falling to them at No. 51. But with Graham Barton gone in the first round and Oregon Jackson Powers-Johnson selected 44th by the Las Vegas Raiders, Frazier was the last top center before a drop off in class.
Speaking with reporters following the team’s final selection of Texas DB Ryan Watts, Khan admits there were some tense moments before the Steelers went on the clock.
