I know people have varying thoughts on PFF, but they had Fuaga as the 2nd best OT and....

the 13th highest player in the draft overall.

2. T TALIESE FUAGA, OREGON STATE

PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 13

Ultimately, Fuaga's tape is that of a starting NFL offensive lineman, whether that is at tackle or guard. He brings the powerful mentality needed to stand out in the trenches. I believe he has the adequate length and foot speed, good offensive line IQ and elite strength to succeed at tackle and get a shot there as a first-round pick.

PFF's top 10 rankings of the '24 NFL Draft's OTs

They also had 3-year scouting reports and grades on all the players on their big board: "PFF's Big Board for the 2024 NFL Draft offers three-year player grades, combine measurables, position rankings, and in-depth player analysis for all of the top draft prospects"

PFF's 3 Year Scouting Grades on all the players on their big board


Some is behind a paywall. But if you scroll down to Fuaga (or any player you want to check out) and click on the black "Show Draft Guide Profile" box it opens up a more in-depth look at him.

Played 12 games and 700 snaps last year (699 at RT--349 run blocking, 351 pass blocking) and gave up 0 sacks, 2 hits, and 10 hurries for an overall grade of 88.2. (For reference, Joe Alt's was 90.7, and their 3rd highest rated OT, Washington's Troy Fautanu's was 75.5).

In 13 games in '22, he played 810 snaps (all at RT--445 run blocking, 365 pass blocking) and gave up 0 sacks, 3 hits, and 8 hurries). No overall grade listed.

In '21 as a freshman, only played in 3 games and had 55 snaps (all at RT--37 run blocking, 18 pass blocking) and gave up 0 sacks, 0 hits, and 0 hurries). Again, no overall grade listed.

So, in 28 games, he had 734 pass blocking plays, did not give up any sacks, only 5 hits, and 18 hurries.

For shits and giggles, they had Dallas Turner as their 16h overall rated player with a '23 overall grade of 81.6.

And even though neither were available to us at 14, they had Penn State's Fashanu as their #17 overall ('23 grade of 78.8) and Bama's Latham as their 18th overall ('23 grade of 81.9).
