Don't be a dick.
Otherwise, have fun, talk shit, freak out and lose your goddamned minds. It's Draft Weekend. The hot takes in these threads are so funny. I'll also be starting player threads for each of our picks as they are made, with videos and notable stats/takes in the OP. These separate threads will be made as soon as the news breaks, outside of this thread. I will link the threads below. Pure knee-jerk gold to reference in the future.
For what it's worth, The Athletic's Dane Brugler had him at #40 overall:

Suamataia is still very young and lacks refinement in several areas, but his blend of size, mobility and core power are the foundation of a scheme-diverse NFL starter. He will require a patient coaching staff who can ease his transition to the pro level.

BYU
Height: 6 - 4 |
Weight: 326 lbs |
RAS: 9.4
Strengths
- Superlative explosive threat off the line who generates bristling momentum into contact
- Carries great size, mass, and length, and uses those dimensions in concert to channel power
- Has the displacement potential to plow linemen out of gaps with burst and length
- Plays with good knee bend in pass protection, which helps smoothen weight transfers
- Shows glimpses of advanced upper-lower synergy and coordination in pass protection
- Mauler with a full season of starting experience at both left and right tackle
Weaknesses
- Still has room to cut down bad weight and reach a point of more efficient mass
- Doesn’t always have the elite core strength to nullify rushers as they attack gaps
- Despite elite power capacity, can be more consistent at sequencing power exertions
- Sometimes bends at the waist when driving power, impacting leverage and balance
He's got a nasty attitude, we are going to love this pick next year. Bring back Donovan cheap as insurance as this kid develops. Way more upside the Wayna. [Reply]

Only proof is the fact that our arch rivals in the AFC and the team we’ve beaten in 2 SBs were willing to trade up with us. You don’t think that means anything? Surely the Bills knew we were targeting a WR. Beane said he didn’t care which is why he made the deal. They didn’t want Worthy. And SF didn’t want Kingsley which is why they traded with us. They knew we wanted OT. This shit is just common sense connecting the dots. It’s not that difficult. [Reply]
