With La'el on board Daniel Faalele becomes more interesting.

His highlights are a lot of fun to watch.  Once he locks in its over.

Dunno.  That's a tall dude to have on the interior.  Can definitely cloud the QBs vision on short routes. 

Plus at that height as a guard he better be able to bend really well or he's nothing more than a dancing bear pushed into the backfield.
