Is Olu Fashanu a worthwhile upgrade over Braxton Jones? (alien.top)

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.

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.
