I wouldn't say that Jackson has a head start, though, as Jonah will be given every opportunity to be the starter at RT. I am just holding out hope that some team needs a LT desperately and they are willing to do a third round pick (or higher) for him. The compensatory pick argument is weak to me as they are based on contract dollars and that pool has been so watered down with the additional compensatory picks for minority hires, etc. And that pick wouldn't be until the 2025 draft, not 2024.
Bottom line: IMHO, Jonah is the RT barring some great trade offer from a desperate team. If that is how they roll, I will fully support him, but I feel a lot better with Collins and Carman as the backups this year over Adeniji and Smith.
We will see how good Jonah actually looks moving around once mandatories start. But yeah, we are in a much better place on the
OL than last year by far. It is a great thing debating who we think is going to win the job and actually having quality depth at Tackle.
Yeah, comp picks don't mean much to me either.
