The big difference is the level of competition that Fuaga & Hergel went against in College.
The played at Power 5 Conferences... much more NFL ready competition.

It was always going to take Penning longer to adjust to the NFL.

Which is fine, but also highlights the nonsensical nature of burning future draft assets to retain a 2nd first round pick to draft a player who wasn't going to be ready to play at a pro level until AFTER the future pick which was given up to get him in the first place.

While I applaud the Olave trade and pick, we just couldn't help ourselves to do the "safe Saints thing" and draft ANOTHER lineman early.
