Taliese Fuaga
Oregon State · OT · Senior
Fuaga has outstanding size, power and balance for the position. He lines up at right tackle, but I believe he could play on the left side if necessary.
In pass pro, he has quick feet out of his stance and is explosive with his punch. He stuns rushers, stays attached and is always on balance.
He is aware versus games and blitzers. In the run game, he is dominant. He uncoils out of his stance to strike and remove defenders over his nose.
He creates movement on down blocks and always looks to finish. He is surprisingly nimble to reach and cut off on the back side.
He takes good angles working up to the second level and made several de-cleating blocks against linebackers in the games I studied.
Overall, I don't see much weakness in Fuaga's game. He has Pro Bowl potential at tackle -- and if needed, could slide inside and play guard.

Brock Bowers
Georgia · TE · Junior
Bowers is an undersized tight end with elite speed, strength and playmaking ability. He lined up all over the field at Georgia -- in-line, on the wing, split out and even at running back.
He is very sudden in his release, and he uses his upper-body strength to chuck defenders when pressed at the line of scrimmage. He catches a lot of quick-hitters in the flat and he’s a maniac on screens.
He attacks the ball in the air and is quick to transition up the field. He has the speed to pull away, but his greatest asset is his tackle-breaking power.
He runs through contact without gearing down. He is an effective run blocker when he can get his hands on opponents, but he will get pressed out by longer-armed edge rushers.
Overall, Bowers reminds me a lot of George Kittle, and I see him having a similar impact in the NFL.
Just missed getting Bowers.

Would have loved to get Bowers but I'm very happy with Fuaga being the pick.

I wonder if the FO would've drafted Bowers

DA said Bowers would have been highly considered if he dropped to 14.
