I can. His 2024 tape was not good, and then he gave up on the team. THEN he was weird in testing and didn't do anything anyone wanted him to do. He is too slow to play outside CB in the NFL and will get eaten up. He sucks at tackling and is consistently low effort in run support. He gets owned by receivers who are sudden. He's a for sure bust imo.

No idea. I don't hate Banks, I really like the intangibles he brings. He does tend to get beat by power rushers who have good hands. My biggest beef with the pick is that we are going to, once again, move around an OL we took in the first. Fuaga was an RT, then moved to LT, and now will presumably move back to RT, whereas Penning will now move somewhere else, too. We did the same thing with Ruiz. I'm just tired of drafting OL out of position.

I mean, I assume most starting NFL RTs played LT in college.

I agree with this. This better be the end of it. They also need a LG but i guess you try penning and bring in someone. This oline better figure it out considering they have 4 first round picks on it. I don’t have an issue with banks. I think he’s gonna be good but there were some defensive players on the board i think would have been a better selection

Fuaga played RT in college. He should have been our RT last year, but we decided to put him at LT despite his short arms. And now, with Banks, we are likely going to put Fuaga back at RT. We undoubtedly wasted some time with all that shuffling.

It's just a pattern I'm annoyed by. There are guys who are natural left or right side players. Membou who the Jets took was also a natural RT.

Yes, but now we are resetting Fuaga again after he spent his entire rookie season on the left.

No they gave him a 86.2 grade. No idea where that ranks among other players but that falls into their elite grade

Maybe, but he played pretty well at LT, so seems like he should adjust pretty well going back to his natural position
