Raiders Draft 2024: Is offensive tackle Taliese Fuaga a fit?

Related Topics: Antonio Pierce, Taliese Fuaga

Mean, powerful, and stout — three common descriptors when it comes to Oregon State product Taliese Fuaga. And the perfect profile for the Las Vegas Raiders, too.

Standing at 6-foot-6 and 324 pounds, the 22-year-old is a tailor-made right tackle that fits not only the philosophy head coach Antonio Pierce is instilling in his football team, but Fuaga’s experience in the zone-based run scheme the Beavers deployed during his stint in Corvallis makes him a potential scheme fit for the Silver & Black.

Not only is Fuaga an extremely powerful blocker, he has the feet and agility to get on the move to excel in a zone or gap blocking scheme.
