The Pittsburgh Steelers landed the exact player they should have in Round 2.
For the Pittsburgh Steelers , the ultimate goal was very simple going into day two of the NFL draft. Get a starting center, particularly, get one of the big three centers still remaining on the board. Pittsburgh accomplished that and completed their offensive line rebuild.
“A four-year starter at West Virginia, Frazier was the starting center in head coach Neal Brown’s balanced scheme, using both zone and gap principles. He put together an All-American resume during his time in Morgantown, starting 37 consecutive games at center before his broken leg in the 2023 regular-season finale. Frazier is a leverage-based blocker with the knee bend and grip strength expected of a four-time state champion high school wrestler .
“Sawed-off frame with short arms and terrific power once he gets locked in. Frazier’s lack of ideal arm length will be a problem for some evaluators and could cause him problems on the next level. Frazier has bulldozer drive strength in his lower half but allows his hands to do too much grabbing and hugging at times. He has quick eyes and a firm punch in pass protection, but because of his lack of length and recovery ability, he’s going to have issues if he’s forced to protect on an island.
The Steelers just solidified their OL with yet another steal. Zach Frazier is a nasty finisher at the center position. Russ/Fields is gonna be protectedZach Frazier is just so good on the move in the run game. Ask him to pull or ask him to climb, and he’s going to find work.Unbelievably gritty and willing to fight through injury and has endeared himself to so many football coaches for his unwillingness to quit.
Frazier should step in on day one and bring in a ready-made skillset as the former high school wrestling champion has some strong hands-on contact that translates to all aspects of the field. His movement skills make him a very scheme-diverse player in the run game and with his tenacity and torque generation, he should prove to be a plus multiplier in that regard. His pass protection should prove to be at least functional and still has room for growth.
