The key to that hypothetical, though, is that Su'a Filo is immediately Steven Hutchinson or Larry Allen. What are the chances of that happening? The chances that he is immediately even an average guard, heck, even a starter on this team, are not very high.

My argument was more in tune with the fact that he asked if I would trade a first round for the best guard in the NFL. So, I was saying, would I trade a first round pick for a player of the quality of Larry Allen or Steve Hutchinson? Yes, I would.

Redskins blogger:

"Su'a-Filo may be one of the safest players in this draft. He should become a very good starting guard for years to come in the NFL. He's one of a handful of players who comes with very little question marks. He's as solid as they come."

"This kid Su'a-Filo is an impressive specimen," said NFL Network's Mike Mayock.

NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah: "He's quick, agile and nasty," Jeremiah tweeted. "Excellent on pulls and pass pro."

Matthew Fairburn of SB Nation:

"As UCLA fans know, Su'a-Filo's biggest contribution to the Bruins' running game came in his ability to pull all the way across the line of scrimmage and make blocks on the move. In this aspect of his game, Su'a-Filo's technique is picture perfect. He gets off the line of scrimmage in a hurry and gets across the line without any hesitation or wasted movement. That's why at times he was able to make it all the way outside the opposite tackle box on running plays. ...He almost doesn't look like a guard when he's moving."

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By CRA · Posted

      You do, the guy who doesn’t appear to grasp projection.  as the entire board knows, I do in fact, take positions.  The position here I have taken is that Bryce Young is a weak bottom tier starting QB, without NFL starting QB tools, that we must move on from.

      The OP for one. Asserting that people blamed Bryce for the loss in the title of the thread. That was not the prevailing sentiment at the time this thread was created. Very much a minority thing, I don’t remember but maybe one person if that, putting it on Bryce as the main reason. Troll thread. Did a good job too. Look at the pages.  Someone counting up the draft picks as 10 on offense and 10 on defense or whatever the number was, today or yesterday - of which the offensive ones were heavily 1s and 2s and the defensive picks were heavily day 3 and declaring that proof that the offense wasn’t favored like people claim. The obvious neglect we watched for two years. I spent time refuting that bullshit because someone needed to.  People saying we are bad horrible people and hate poor lil Bryce for no reason, as if it is a personal thing. Constantly.   Along the same lines is people saying we non Bryce fans would rather lose than have him play well and the team wins. That we are mad when the team wins   Point illustrated.
