So by your well laid out selections, at best, he's maybe the 27th rated LT in the league BEFORE the draft and definitely rated lower afterwards. Personally I think that 27th is a little high as a few of the teams in bold probably feel better about "their guy" going forward than they do about JW. Let him pout. He's most likely going nowhere.

I don't know if I'd say he's the 27th rated LT before the draft necessarily.
There are some guys who were drafted within the past 1-2 years that are currently the LTs, but those teams aren't likely going to take a 1-year rental and instead stick with their early-round draft pick.

Case in point:
Raimann in Indy (7 sacks allowed, 27 total pressures)
Cross in Seattle (7 sacks allowed, 48 total pressures)
Ekwonu in Carolina (6 sacks allowed, 27 total pressures)
Jones in Chicago (7 sacks allowed, 40 total pressures)
Tyler Smith in Dallas (6 sacks allowed, 39 total pressures)

Jonah was tacked with more sacks than these rookies drafted last year, but he did allow about the same total pressures as Smith, Jones, and Cross.
Some (or even all) of these 2022 rookies could end up being worse than Jonah once they get into 3-4 seasons in their careers, but there probably isn't enough there yet to say they NEED to swap in Jonah for this year.
