Misidentified, not missed. As in you thought he was your tackle of the future and not a guard who only ended up starting 69% of possible games. You took him at 1.13 then had to turn around and burn another pick on a tackle only two years after. There are a bunch of positions to account for on the...
The tape looks fine to my eyes but it's a different animal in the league. I think it's important to note what guys who actually study and coach the OL position are saying. We are the team that misidentified Peat, Ruiz, and Penning, after all. Again, this isnt my opinion. The only "take" i'll offe...
It’s a pick with a high floor given that the worst case scenario is he’s a guard. We needed that security. The value at 14 isn’t there for a guard, given what we passed on and the fact that a guy like Barton goes off at 1.26. They’ll be a lot of revisionists history if Fuaga can’t stick at tack...
It’s more nuanced that what can be discussed on a 30 second snippet on TV. The potential for him being a guard is mentioned in every draft write up I’ve read This isn’t a new phenomenon. There’s guys drafted every year whose teams have plans for them at tackle. It doesn’t work and the consolatio...
I don’t have a premise. This is the analysis of the two most respected OL guys who work with a ton of prospects and OL guys This is the from Thorn’s draft profile on Fuaga. Perhaps it articulates his thought better [quote]Overall, Fuaga has the size, power and run-blocking skills to earn a st...

[quote]Saints get their Ramczyk insurance in Fuaga who can be a high level G if need be. One of the best run blockers in the class either way[/quote] James Hurst was Ram insurance too. I’m not sure that’s a ringing endorsement for a guy you take at 1.14. The guy can obviously give you snaps at ta...

[quote]Do they think that his best position is guard or that he can't play OT on the NFL level?[/quote] They’ll never say he 100% can’t play OT. You just don’t hear any question about Alt, Latham, and Fashanu playing OT. But given what was available at 14, you kinda have to be 100% certain the gu...
Carl, Duke Manyweather and Brandon Thorn, the two OL gurus of the league who work with all of these guys, have Fuaga penned as an inside guy. Thorn had him as his OL6, Manyweather comps him to Mike iupati, who was a great guard but a guard nonetheless. Does this worry you? I’ll take your answ...

Daniel Jeremiah does the radio call for the Chargers. He’s never got any Saints content which leads me to believe the saints must’ve inquired about 1.5 at some point. I can’t imagine Loomis being that dumb, it would wreck you’re already bare draft capital for the next year or two ...
