[The D.O.Z.]

Haven’t seen anything on him but he says he can replace Volson at LG, who he detests, and RT if required but will be the starting RT in 2 seasons. Thoughts on Fautana?

He'd be a damn fine pick, in my opinion. My only real concern is we have been bitten in the arse before, switching a guy from his natural position to something else. If they draft a guy to be the RT heir apparent, I would prefer they keep him there and let him get a year's worth of reps there, even if those reps are back up reps due to a healthy T.Brown. Now if they draft an interior guy with versatility, like JPJ or Barton, then I would be fine with them taking guard reps to push / unseat Volson with a mind of possibly having to take over center duties or replace Cappa down the road.
