Ruiz is garbage.

Fuaga played very poorly today. If this is his level he will also be viewed as a bust. I didn’t expect that.

Fuaga has somehow gone from promising LT to horrible RT in less than a year...who's to blame?!

Loomis somehow drafts and Offensive lineman every year and still doesn't have five good starters.

Loomis and the whole college scouting department should be fired. But they’re not going anywhere.

The Saints should be and are in rebuilding mode now. But the problem with that plan is that this front office is in charge of finding players. Their draft track record has been abysmal since 2017.

The last time the Saints had scouts that could judge OL was 2006 -2009 .Since then garbage.

Trash is grossly inaccurate. Not dominant, sure. Tackles are good (if healthy). Fuaga is playing with a bad knee and it showed on that last sack. But they are young and should continue to improve. And center is good. It would be nice to see what they look like with Penning in there at guard. Ruiz appears to be average, so is probably an overpay. I think the line would be fine with a little health and continuity. Maybe not what you would hope with 4 first rounders and 1 2nd, but again we haven't seen a snap from Penning at guard yet and not sure you can really accurately fully ssess the young tackles yet.

So these rankings/review below are from:
LINK

Note: Guard & Tackle position rankings are not separated by L or R so Ruiz's 36th ranking puts him right in the middle (or average) range if you figure 64 starting guards in the league. Fuaga's ranking clearly shows how he's been hampered by the knee.

14) New Orleans Saints

C Erik McCoy: 91.7 (3rd)
LT Kelvin Banks Jr.: 78.5 (28th)
LG Dillon Radunz: 78.4 (23rd)
RG Cesar Ruiz: 74.6 (36th)
RT Taliese Fuaga: 61.7 (59th)

Here we are, with the New Orleans Saints’ offensive line performing admirably well, all things considered. It hasn’t led to victories just yet, but it’s hard to say the offensive woes are on this offensive line so far in 2025.

Collectively, they’ve averaged 0.98 yards before contact per carry and hold top-12 marks in quick pressure rate, true dropback pressure rate, and sack rate overall.

The fact that Ruiz still plays lets you know how bad Guard play is in this league.
