Have a half-ish Samoan buddy. 6’ 2-3”, 220+. Controlled aggression.

People have fucked with him and found out.

From Suamataia's local beat writer...

for those naysayers this is from the article.... We got him at 63, who gives a **** if we moved down in the 6th....

Also Sua-matay-a sounds like a power move in martial arts or perhaps Dragonball-Z. Let's see how he handles my suamataia!! Suuuuuuuuu uuhhhhhhh maaahhhhhhh taaayyyyyyyy....UHHHHHHHHHH!

I understand Wanya has the upper hand currently, he's earned the placeholder spot on the depth chart

However, I'll die on the hill that Suamataia starts WK 1 as left tackle.

I'll die on the hill that our starting left tackle week 1 will be Donovan Smith on a one year deal

Meh.

I won't be mad, I just don't think it's necessary.

And if it does become necessary, that probably means we've got shit for tackle depth.

Mid-season at the latest, unless Wayna balls out, which would be amazing. Then you might look at getting out from under Taylor’s deal (I think after 2 years the dead money is tolerable) then you have two young tackles on rookie deals. That would be absolutely ideal, then you can maybe keep both Smith and Humphrey.

We could get out from under Taylor's cap hit June, 2025 I think?

It'd be nice if Kingsley and Morris were the bookends on rookie deals.

I'm 100% Team Kingsley and I think it was an A+ pick and the ceiling is Peneii Sewell.

That said, dude is a project and we shouldn't count on starting him immediately.

He’s your day 1 LT

Andy already has a soft spot for this kid, he's gonna be wanting him to become the guy more than anybody.

You've got 1-2 more years of Joe Thuney, stick the pup out there next to him and let him grow. Our receivers should be able to make life a lot easier on our tackles this year compared to last season.

If he's gonna reach that ceiling, I think he's gotta get reps, and getting them next to an All-Pro guard who can do some thinking for him early on doesn't hurt.
