Why the NY Jets should pass on the 2022 draft class’s top OT prospects

NC State’s Ikem Ekwonu, Alabama’s Evan Neal, and Mississippi State’s Charles Cross are not only the three best offensive tackle prospects in the 2022 NFL draft, but they are three of the draft’s best overall prospects as well.

And the New York Jets shouldn’t draft any of them.

Despite all three players possessing more than enough talent to be quality starters, New York currently doesn’t have the room in its lineup for a top-10 rookie. George Fant and Mekhi Becton will battle throughout training camp for the left tackle spot, while the loser of the competition will move over to the right side.
