It is highly possible that Ryan Ramczyk will not be ready for the start of the season. Former RD1 selection Trevor Penning looks like a bust. And, Andrus Peat has yet to be re-signed.
Taliese Fuaga has the skills to become an immediate starter on either the side of the bookends. His agility is surprising for his size. Fuaga did not give up a sack in 2 seasons as a starter for the Oregon State Beavers. As a run blocker, he is a force that can clear lanes for RBs. Fuaga offers both a short-term solution for Ramczyk and a long-term solution for a Saints' O-line that was inadequate throughout much of the 2023 season.
