Absolutely! Fuaga is the answer to our right guard questions.

They made the right choice
Bringing in a young QB to likely sit for a year would be a disaster especially as it would likely have cost next years number 1, and if they didn't fix the line it would be a top 6 pick.

Love the pick. Would have preferred Penix if they did that though.

Baldy begs to differ... his analysis reveals that Fuaga is stronger than Alt is. Film shows that he was pushing around fellow #1 draft pick UCLA's Latu like a rag doll.

I’ll just say this:

I wanted DeShaun Watson. Folks didn’t like him.
I wanted Lamar Jackson. Folks didn’t like him.
I wanted CJ Stroud. Folks didn’t like him.

Hopefully I’m wrong about Penix because the other three went to the SEC. This one is in our division. 🥲

2 out of 3 ain't bad.. DW is a disaster. Lamar may have reached his ceiling, but good call. CP mouthed off on him. CJ Stroud looks good so far.

What about JD5?

None of the picks do anything without some beef up front.

Watson was elite before Cleveland.

I love Daniels.

He’s talented. I’m not a fan, but he’s got natural gifts.
