Taking a RT at 1.14 shows how desperate they are


Didn't the lions take sewell at 4 or 5?

Now sewell is elite but still.

They need both a left and right tackle in the near future.

You can find dudes like him in round 2…not getting an edge rusher with turner’s potential next round.

But hey I’m sure young will have that career renaissance you’re banking on once he comes off the PUP half way through the season

He's clean, my only concern is why wasn't he rated higher out of HS?


I don’t know but interesting that his high school teams only won like 4 games total so possible he was overlooked

We have put ourselves in a position where we had to go OT. I’m fine with it.

Taliese Fuaga is a great pick



A two year starter at Tackle for Oregon State. Played in 40 total games and gave up only 1 sack in 4 yrs. All Pac-12 and All American 1st team in 2023, plus a semifinalist for the Outland Trophy and Lombardi Award.

Willie Roaf wasn’t a late round pick; he was the 8th pick of the draft.

Not a bad pick but still would of traded the pick


Not if you don't have a partner.
If you paid attention we worked the clock all the way down almost.

Isn’t he from Hawaii? Probably have a few guys skip between cracks.

Saints love the RAS score and 9.71 is up there.

Penning had a high RAS also. Hopefully he gets his head out of his arse and gets better.

Penning doesn’t have a head up his arse problem, he lacks talent and technique

Ultimate boom or bust potential.

If he booms, he’s probably the best OL from this draft easily.

But but but his arms are too short…


People would have been bitching about Fashanu if we had taken him because of his small hands
