Joe Alt vs. Troy Fautanu: let's analyze who is better. The NFL has struggled to develop quality offensive lineman in the last decade, which is why it is crucial for teams to nail their first round offensive lineman evaluation in the 2024 NFL draft. There are some incredible prospects projected to go near the top of the first round, but every prospect has strengths and weaknesses that need to be analyzed. Should teams take Notre Dame’s Joe Alt? Or University of Washington’s Troy Fautanu? This week’s episode uses the coaches all 22 to analyze Notre Dame’s Left Tackle Joe Alt and University of Washington’s Left Tackle Troy Fautanu as they prepare for the 2024 NFL draft.

What has been your favorite part of Antonio Brown’s generational run?
"the kid's got great feet!"
-Rex Ryan
Fautanu is one of the nicest football players I have met. After wins (which was every game) he would go into the stands and give fans handshakes and take selfies with them. Just what a genuine guy
1:56 “But just focusing on his feet, shoutout Rex Ryan” 💀💀💀
OT1 was always Alt, but OT2 was fluid whole year and i am still not sure who it will be: Fautanu, Fuaga or Fashanu
Are you sure about your first statement?
@@rjharrold2907alt has generational talent, not seen since Sewell. Any gm that passes on him for a bust qb will regret it to their grave
@@chevy4x466”generational” lol
A generation is not 3 years 💀
OT1 was originally Olumuyiwa Fashanu, then it changed as the season progressed
@@chevy4x466 You guys just listen to the media with his ND push and spew this shit 😂. He's not Sewell, Thomas, Tunsil, etc as a prospect. He's also not as good of a prospect as guys like Slater, I've had a Kolton Miller comp on him since early January and there are way more problems in his game right now than you realize, Miller rn is about his ceiling which is a really good tackle not elite and it will take him 1-3 years to get there
With the Steelers drafting Fautanu, they have legit hit the jack pot. Fautanu imo, was a top 12 pick.
This potentially gives the Steelers LT and RT, elite play for the next decade.
LFG.
HYPED for this tackle duo
Yo this is the best Tape channel I’ve seen
Thanks brother!
How is this not Alt vs Fashanu 🤦🏾♂️
It should be
We've seen that a million times... fautanu is legit to
alt is just way better LMAO
@cqnrad No bro it close
Fashanu is brutal at run blocking, him being better than alt is a psyop
Harbaugh loves himself a good OLine and I don’t get why everyone has just accepted they’re going wr at 5. I can pretty easily see them take Alt there
As a titans fan, I’ve never been more excited drafting an O-Lineman before in my life, we better draft this dude there is no Alt-ternative
Love your work man, the analysis and breakdown of the film brings me back!
I like Alt a lot, I think his frame/length makes him a very intriguing prospect. He’s built to handle power & has the length to push speed rushers off their path to the QB. He can be coached into an elite OT in the NFL with the physical tools he has. I think that’s why he’s so high on boards.
My only knock on him that you already mentioned is he can lean too much. I also noticed he’s a top heavy guy which can be a hard habit to kick. But with the right coaching he can adjust.
That was my only knock on Fautanu. It was his ability to handle power rushers. It’s pretty clear from his film & combine he has the footwork to play tackle. He has tackle length too but I still believe he’s better off moving inside & putting on another 10-15 lbs to play guard. He’d be elite on the inside with his agility & scrappy nature.
Troy is playing rt basically with a Left handed qb in the league he should continue that similar to zach tom and he had a great last year against every top pass rusher but garret he played last year
Thank you stat guy 😅 Yes. I'm drafting a oline man based on how fast they shuffle their feet to stay infront of defense..some big dudes are so slow its frustrating 😊
Great video Alex!! As an O line fanatic myself, this was a pleasure to watch. You are always welcomed on the show
Thanks brother!
@alexrollinsnfl Thank your mother, you were born for this.
My packers need an offensive lineman. If we trade some of those 11 picks, maybe we could nab one of these dudes but hopefully we can grab Graham Barton. Great video as always
_And here I am as a 49er fan having to settle for possible scraps when it comes to O Line if we go that route in the draft_
Any of the top guys would have to come at the expense of trading Aiyuk for another 1st round pick. Even then you're probably looking at the best options being Fatanu, or some of the RTs and trying to move them to the left side once Trent is gone.
Fuaga at 31 is an option if he's still there.
@@whatthree16 no chance fuaga is very good
Alex, did you take down all your 2024 Draft videos? What’s going on?
I loved his reviews. All the rest seem like they watch the same 10 "highlights " and try their best to pump the kid up like it's their son.
I think people have forgotten. Nobody is perfect.
Yeah. He did.
I'm having some behind the scenes issues. A couple of them are back up, hoping to get the rest sorted out soon
Fautanu and alt are future all pros
so crazy that 6'4 315 is small haha
I find that kind of funny too. I mean...Trent Williams is "only" 6' 5" and 320.
@@Wolfeson28 im not conventionally small and that shit makes me feel like an inferior man lmao
2:46 just made me bolt tf up ⚡️😎
Awesome video and can't wait for tomorrows 2024 draft. Sounds like Troy Fautanu may be best suited to play guard at the next level and possibly work his way to the outside. Wish both players a great NFL career!
Fuaga, Fashanu, and Fautanu all look like quality ready to plug and play OTs in the NFL. Also Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 20-25 range looks like a nice upper level center add for somebody. I’m hoping Bears will trade down from 9 if Odunze and Fashanu are gone and get a LV or New Orleans 14-16 and 44-46 for their 9 and 75. I’d take Fautanu and a Keon Coleman or Bralen Trice at 44 though both may be off the board by then.
I wonder if you could do a video on what does it take to fix the WAS offensive line. WAS has the option to trade down #2 even 2 to 3 to 4 to 5 and then deal with this. If you wish you could spend 3 min on WAS and then add several other teams. IMO If WAS drafts a QB at 2 it is pointless since the QB will be running for his life just like Howell last year. Do we need TWO from Alt, Fashanu, Fautanu, Latham, Fuaga?
Welcome to the Titans, Joe ⚔️
ND OL are always great!
Chargers have the easiest drqft pick in ever. A frqnchise offensive tackle that has experinc3 at the right tackle position when you already have a a franchise lineman at the left tackle position
Using a 5th overall pick on a RT seems steep. Chargers should go Nabers or Harrison.
@jeffb.4800 if they're there then yes, but chargers two biggest needs are receiver and OL and three of the top six prospects fall into those needs
Alex, I am a Jets fan so I ask should the Jets pick Fautanu at 10 as most likely Alt to the Titans or even the Chargers but I have heard talks of drafting Bowers at 10 or we should trade down and then draft Fautanu at a later pick
I'm jets fan. There have been 3 rumors I've heard the most
1. We stay at 10 and take best player available most likely Bowers or even alt if the teams around us decide to get cute with there drafting
2. We trade back and draft an OL most likely fuaga since Joe seems to really like him
3. We trade up and draft one of the big name wide receivers
As pats fan, I can say that overall size(Nate solder) is not going to guarantee you a Hof career. But you also need more size then 6ft3(Isaiah Wynn) to be a solid left tackle. With alt, he needs to learn to drop the hips more consistently, but he has to size to be a great left tackle. With fautanu, he might be an all pro guard or right tackle
and my niners will still fail to get one of these guys... wonder which runningback or tight ends we draft instead.
It’s a balancing act that is controlled my 💰 (- running backs = + fast linebackers) (- tight end = + mobile offensive lineman) I can go on but hopefully you see my point.
honestly like all of alt, fuaga, fautanu, fashanu, and mims which feels weird because it’s likely only 2-3 of them work out. really hope my steelers get mims tho
Looking at the Alt tape, he is unreal because NDs Oline in general was not good but he was so good he was still a top 5 pick.
Can you do one on Super Bowl 41
Taliese Fuaga should’ve been the 2nd man in this video he’s the best run blocker and is very technical I think he’ll be the best.
he doesn't project well as an Tackle prospect his arms are too short i think his more of a Guard in the NFL
Fuaga projects better as a guard at the next level imo. His run blocking strengths would be more useful in the interior.
I hate judging a dude by height but I think 6’3” would be the shortest tackle in football. That’s a very interesting prospect though, maybe a switch to guard?
Your video is probably the only one I have seen that makes me somewhat ok with my Titans taking Alt. I'm just so sick of hearing his name around here... lol
Fautanu will be a guard in the NFL. I would've been more interested in Alt vs. Fashanu from Penn St. but I appreciate the video nonetheless.
Was hoping you were gonna touch on some more players in the class, Alex.
Alt’s a good player. I think you’re overselling the pop in the run game a bit. He’s good there. He’s effective. But he’s not gonna be mistaken for a Fuaga or Latham in that department, just chucking dudes out the club on a consistent basis. You talked a little about some of his tendency to overextend but I don’t think you really delved into why it happens as often as it does. The way Alt is built, with that high waist and those long legs, make it difficult for him to really bend and sit down in the way you see a more flexible lineman like a Latham or a Fautanu do. His build and some of his lower body tightness forces him into a less than ideal choice of either playing too high or overextending. Alt’s has made the choice to lean more on the side of overextending but can often get away with it in college because of the natural agility, body control and felicity with his hands. I think in the league it will be an issue that will give him more problems than it did in college. I still think he’s gonna be a good, effective pro, but I think there’s a good chance that it will limit his upside in a way that it wouldn’t if he were a bendier athlete.
Fautanu, I don’t think you really talked about the best thing about him, which is the special lateral movement skills he has. He’s the best, most fluid, purest mover in this O line class. One thing that does concern me is not so much the size but something else: his relatively flat ass. He just doesn’t have that ideal bubble that you want, which goes directly to his anchoring ability. I think he’s such a good athlete and so technically sound that he’ll be able to still be very effective in most instances, but when he does have trouble I think it will be because of trouble with his anchor.
Isn't Fautanu like OT5 or 6? Odd comparison to make
More videos at other positions, please.
Alt has great feet. He always puts his best foot forward. Shout out Wes welker for the best interview ever.
Seems like Fautanu might be better suited to be a Kelce type center or guard in the NFL instead of an OT
Faut is so good that I made him my tight end in Madden
HOW THE HELL DID WE GET FAUTANU?! Note: Yes, I’m a Georgia fan, but I’m also a very happy Steelers fan.
Joe Alt will be a hall of fame tackle - there is no debate who the best tackle in the draft is.
As a 9er fan, he gives me Mike Mcglinchy vibes ... I don't like 6'8 tackles, but that's just me .
My dad played guard at high school in the 70s.And every year Until he passed he was able to pick the best offensive lineman that was taken out of the draft every year
And you always say that doesn't matter how big they are how strong they are if they don't have technique and foot work they're not gonna amount to anything because we're not gonna know how to beat big fast DE... You always stated if you ever going to be a good And if you want a good offensive lineman watch How they judge an edge Because if they know where to keep their arms and how to move eggs will never get PASSED
Fautaunu would be a pro bowl level tackle, but I honestly think he could be a hall of fame guard
Fautanu seems like a guard in the NFL
Kinda like Penei Sewell in the beginning.
He’s a tackle, he has better measurements than Fashanu and Alt arm length wise/ hand size lol that’s just an espn narrative
Rashawn Slater was said to be a better guard and he's doing ok/great
Better question.... Which Tackle are the Titans gonna pick first?
Nabers
@@ironlion7800 No way. He's not falling that far
Alt easily
Alt's the pick for Titans if not taken by Chargers or Giants beforehand
Alt falling to 7 seems like a stretch. Unless someone falls in love with Rome
Bro, why is the title "offensive line class" and it just shows the 2 top tackle prospects ???
Bears have 9th pick. Anaylsts drooling for WR. I say trade up with 2005 picks to take Alt. THe # of quality WR increases every year and you can get them in FA. LEft tackles are top 10 and we will not be drafting top 10 again for a decade.
Slater got everyone thinking they can do it at 6'4
zach tom too
Height really don’t matter it’s all about arm length
Edit: I’ll specify height does matter but not in the case of being a 6’4 tackle. Really has nothing to do with ability if you think a 6’4 tackle can’t get the job done bc he’s 6’4 and not 6’5 or above.
@@Yaahboi52height does matter, he even mentioned it in the video.
@@Hostessmoses no not really. Penei Sewell is 6’4 and he’s the best RT in the NFL
@@Yaahboi52 you named 1 guy. Most elite tackles today like Lane Johnson, Wirfs, Trent Williams are 6'5 and above. I'm not saying it makes a huge difference. I'm saying it DOES matter, he even mentioned it in the video
Interesting
Bears could honestly build a competitive team for the next decade out of what we’ve done in the last 2 years. This draft is so perfect for us
Personally, Fashanu is the tackle #2 and it’s not close.
Feel like you should've compared Alt to some other guys like Fautanu and Fuaga and maybe even Latham rather than Fautanu.
Hey Alex, I just caught your show for the first time, if I can, ask a question off topic from 3 years ago , it's a video about Zach Wilson rise,, being a jet fan, idk I didn't like the way everyone destroyed Zach Wilson in 2023, Joe Douglas picked him for a reason, and watching your breakdown , why wouldn't you, the question is, coming from a professional Anilyst like yourself, besides the obvious, no QB in the NFL could've played with the injuries and different combos the OL had, Do you have a reason or not, about why Wilson couldn't run the jets offense in 2023? An athlete with that amount of talent and hype should get a second chance, in my eyes. ok, ty , if you have a minute to give me what you're thinking .
Contrary to popular belief, the New York Jets made the right decision drafting Zach Wilson since there was no other way they could have proactively addressed their quarterback concerns. The common retort you’ll often hear from critics is they should have drafted Ja’Marr Chase or Micah Parsons. My counter argument to that is their value as positional players would have diminished if Sam Darnold kept playing the way he did. The bottom line is Joe Douglas and Robert Saleh were not interested in mortgaging their livelihoods on a quarterback they did not evaluate, draft or see play well.
In 2022 the New York Jets benched Zach Wilson for saying he did not let the defense down which was the wrong decision since they were 5 and 2. Critics will argue that quarterback was not the reason they won which quite frankly doesn’t matter. In the National Football League wins are measured by the scoreboard, not how clean the game was played or locker room likability points. If a team has a winning record they’re gonna continue starting the quarterback who contributes to that regardless of how he plays.
The second reason why benching Zach Wilson was the wrong decision was because it robbed him of the opportunity to reclaim his role as a leader. If you’re a head coach and you’re too much of a wuss to play your starting quarterback when the weight of the world is on his shoulders then you don’t deserve the job. If Zach Wilson rises to the challenge and keeps this team in the playoff mix, then it actually makes sense for the New York Jets to keep him into 2023 where they actually are justified in their hope of him developing behind Aaron Rodgers.
@michaelicious Thank you for break down, I hope the kid has a come back, !
titans should take Nabers, gotta bet on some talent that’s gonna touch the football given the current state of the franchise
When I watch Fautanu it reminds me of Joe Thuney
Kyle Shanahan needs to get this first right. Even picking near the bottom of the first, there is quality talent available to help fix the OL. As much as he loves run blockers, I hope he focuses more on getting a guy with high level pass blocking skills. 😐
Only 2? There's more
Eagles SALIVATING rn oline university let’s go
Olu Fashanu.
This should be Alt vs Fashanu. Fautanu is at best the 5th best tackle in the draft. Alt, Olu, Mims, and Latham are all better.
Every episode, Alex manages to squeeze a joke in, like Rex Ryan foot fetish. I notice!
You've got your toe on the pulse
it really is😅
Troy Fautanu = Brandon Brooks
Hot take: Troy Fautanu won't transition very well to the NFL, too vulnerable to power rusher that currently dominate the NFL at the edge position
At least now I'm not gonna be as upset when the Chargers stick and pick Alt at 5.
I would choose the 317 lb man that has a 32.5" vertical leap.
INCREDIBLE!
Simms has Latham number one lol
Wth was this video?
Who’s better, the consensus OT1 or consensus OT3/4? After extensive research the consensus OT1 is better. What?
Fashanu ? lol is OT 1B
Don’t be surprised if Fautanu gets moved to guard.
Simple, it’s fuaga
Put either on the Giants and watch them turn into swiss cheese
Fautanu was never in a top 5 ot for me or a top 3 iol. He legitimately cannot block anyone. Horrific in the run game and gets absolutely dusted by inside moves. Kinda suprised youd compare a high upside low floor guy to ot1 by miles
Lmao lost
Ok chill out 😂 what’d he do to you lol
I saw 3:50 and said uh oh this is bad news then here comes like 3 clips of Joe Alt getting destroyed.
Joe Alt is too stiff, have a meh anchor compared to the other tackles in the 1st round and can't bend nearly as well. He'll get dominated by the top edge players in the NFL. I think he's a mid 1st round pick, not a top 10.
Pace, Thomas, Tunsil, Sewell…. Caleb Williams is the #1 overall. No other player should be drafted higher. I see no world where harbaugh doesn’t sprint to the podium to take alt. Alt is the best prospect since Orlando pace.
God no
@@Aburner960 where do u rate him on past names? He is every bit as good as Sewell
@@chevy4x466 sewell hard clears him as does thomas tunsil and sewell. Hes my 8th ish? ranked prospect hes very good but nowhere close to the best prospect since pace i dont even think hed make top 50
Who pays for stuff and doesn’t know about it? Never ever had that experience. Are people that lazy and/or dumb?🧐
Fautanu isn't even a top 5 linemen. And Latham is #1 OT
Chargers are in an insane spot. How do you decide between a generational prospect tackle and a generational prospect receiver?
Smart teams build from the inside out
Trade down and take an elite tackle/guard and then an elite dt/cb with 23
Not a "generational" tackle...
Recent team building tactics has shown an elite receiver to go with a very strong QB can make up for a few weaknesses in the O-line. Besides GM Hortiz/Harbaugh have to hit on the interior O-linemen too which have been a weakness for the Chargers under Staley/Telesco's regime. Especially if OC Roman wants to run with Gus.
