None of 'em.
There isn't a single blue chip LT in this class, IMO.
There's nothing resembling Alt. I don't even see a JC Latham. I'd take Fashanu over anyone from this draft class and he was lousy last season. I'd take Fuaga over anyone from this class.
It's not really until Mims out of the '24 class that I start to see guys I'd put behind the top prospects in this class.
It is just the absolute wrong year to be aggressively trading up for an OT. You'd be better served standing pat and hoping to get a Rosengarten sort at the back of the 1st or even back of the 2nd. Rosengarten was actually fairly effective, fairly quickly last season. There's a solid argument to make that apart from Alt, he was the best rookie OT in football last year.
Just recognize that you could well end up with someone like Guyton, who was barely more playable than Kingsley. Then again, had we traded up and taken Fashanu after paying a kings ransom for the privilege, he was only marginally better than Guyton was.
Fellas, we gotta just keep plugging along here. There's simply not an obvious and easy solution to this.
