As long as it’s one of the top OT’s and not a reach, that’s fine. Seems like a real possibility Fashanu is there. We should run to the podium.

I honestly wouldn’t be mad if our 1st 2 picks were on the OL. It’s not a sexy pick by any means but games are won up front. If we can hit on an OT and versatile guy who can play anywhere on the line, that’d be huge.

We simply aren’t going to fill all of our needs with one draft. Might as well start from the inside out.

All the more reason you shouldn’t pass on a stud. This team needs to start to reload top end talent on this roster going forward, with eyes to 2026 and beyond. Kamara is on the wrong side of it, Lattimore could be gone. Who are the young stars of this team? Olave? We need dudes. Look at any contender, they have top end talent we severely lack

And we certainly need to add to the OL room. But we need a lot of things.

As much as we need offensive lineman, I would not pass on Bowers.

Not gonna lie, didn't think he would be this good blocking. Receiving absolutely, because he runs routes like a receiver.

Luxury we couldn't afford

Bunch of silliheads in this thread.

Latu also has a 78.1 PFF grade (with good run/pass splits)

Latu has a bunch of pressures but no sacks. He’d fit in well here.

I noticed watching the Raiders-Rams that Andrus Peat isn't starting.

Saw him suited up though.

I like Fuaga and he looks promising, but Bowers is a legit bad arse.

I can't believe the few that were doubting the guy.

Fuaga was the right pick based off need for a tackle.

I thought Bowers would be like Dallas Clark. Really good player but I was skeptical of drafting him that high.

He’s off to a great start but he also gets like 10 targets per game for a bad offense

I always thought Bowers was a pipe dream.

Even had he made one pick down to the Saints, I think they are still picking Fuaga.

no doubt. The Raiders will be playing from behind a lot which should allow him plenty of chances to rack up stats.

We play the raiders late in the year and TE's have given this defense trouble. Hopefully Bowers has the flu that week

He still catches 78% of targets. That tells you it's not just volume, but efficiency to match (like Thomas and Brees)

His aDot is 18th among tight ends. It’s mostly a volume thing.

8.6 - elite pass catchers gets targeted. He’s a rookie TE running as a team’s #1. No different than a Nabers who is seeing 12 targets/g

PFF’s highest graded rookie pass catcher, including WRs. Actually, highest graded offensive rookie, period
