Assuming MHJ is gone and we pick top 5, would you go LT or trade down? Braxton has proven himself to be a very capable tackle so I’d kind of be less enthused about spending a top pick on him. Maybe grab Kool Aid McKinstry and resign JJ would be the play.
Our OL has been an absolute carousel. Braxton Jones is good enough to be LT. But he missed half the season so far with injury. Nate Davis missed games. Jenkins missed games.
Just because we take a top LT prospect in the draft doesn’t mean our OL will magically play all 17 games healthy each year. With how important LT is i would love to have true depth there
Agreed. Also from a cap allocation standpoint, LT is very expensive, so if you’re riding with JF1, then having a “cheap” LT for 4-5 years can help offset the cost of having an “expensive” QB. Or if we go QB 1-2, it can help us allocate resources elsewhere.
