He's only got 10 fewer games of NFL experience than Jonah.
Over the last 2 years, he's played 4 more football games than Jonah.


It's not like Jonah is a highly polished gem right now in comparison.

Jonah played 700 or more snaps at LT last year and gave up like 2 sacks in his first year. He is an ascending LT right now. Compare that to the other first year LTs and he is better than they are right now.

He's ready to start day 1.  He wouldn't be viewed as a top 3-5 overall pick if he was a project.

So I’m assuming you aren’t reading or watching analysts break him down? There are a few who say he’s perfect right now, but there are more who warn against starting him at LT day 1. I read and watch analysts say to start him at guard so he develops more core strength and better opt work and a better pinch placement. Yes, he’s gifted. Yes, I like him and his potential is through the roof! But to throw him at LT day one is asking too much of him right now, IMHO
