Maybe?
Although I would think Fuaga would have to really show to be head and shoulders above Volson to take his spot (assuming you meant Volson).
But seeing as how Pollack has given Volson two full years to start and Volson has gotten somewhat better over time, I don't personally think Volson will get supplanted by anyone barring injury.


I realize that with my draft picks, it could mean potentially that the first two picks do not play much their rookie season, but they were selected with the intent to take over as full-time starter in 2025 and be high quality depth initially.
About the only spots I could see having a potential rookie take over to start are NT and CB, of which I've addressed in the 3rd and 4th round.
But I did that because 1) I'm not ready to give up on Turner and Hill yet, and 2) You can get impactful immediate contributions from a drafted NT who is taken in the middle rounds. It's harder to get and groom a mid-round OT and even WR (at least to the caliber of Higgins).

If going purely on need for this season, I would take Sweat in Rd 1 and probably a CB like TJ Tampa in Rd 2.
There's not an OT I see after Rd 2 that I would feel could be groomed quick enough to take over in 2025 to start at RT after Brown departs.
