What are the chances we draft a tackle with one of our firsts, and what happens to Braxton Jones if we do? (alien.top)

Olu Fashanu and Joe Alt are great prospects and LT is a really important position, but Jones has been pretty solid this year. Is it worth it to use one of our picks on one of them if they’re there?

Maybe this depends more on what our other needs end up being and who’s available at that spot.

Braxton Jones would be wasted as a swing tackle. He currently has the 7th best pass blocking grade among all left tackles in the NFL and pass blocking is what they make their living doing. He either starts or he is trade bait. Teams don't really trade away good left tackles.
