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.

It wouldn’t exactly suck to have Jones as a backup swing tackle.
It depends on the rest of the draft , I personally think Braxton is good enough that you don’t hunt for a LT but also not good enough that if Fashanu is BPA you pass. With that said, I think impact of someone like Bowers or MHJ are going to be bigger than the jump up from Braxton to one of the OT prospects.
I’m not against this, but how are the center prospects looking? I’d prefer a young, rookie center than buying one in free agency, but if this dude really is that good at LT, maybe we should just take him.
Bears fans really are totally cool spending a top 5 pick and 3 2nd round picks on DBs in 3 consecutive drafts, while we have a bottom 5 offense in the league for like the 40th year in a row….
It’s genuinely a mental disease.
I prefer Alt, but yes either should be an upgrade.
Fashanu is considered by some as the best pass protecting LT prospect in at least a few years. Jones should not stop us from taking him.
Having depth along the offensive line is always going to be good. O linemen get injured all the time.
I would not mind taking a blue chip LT. Braxton Jones is good, but he’s not elite.
