Mock draft LT at 19

[45catfan]

I like OT Lomu as a prospect if he's still there.  He's young and needs bulking and seasoning, definitely a project year 1 and why we need to re-sign Yosh and/or other LT.  If Ickey is done or he comes back less than his prior self, we can move him to RT or guard.  We got to have a plan in place.

If nothing styles please trade out

Nah, there should be a guy there at #19 we need.  One of the edge guys, Conception, one of the CBs and possibly an OT.  It would be rotten luck if Styles, Delane, Lomu, Conception and Howell are all gone.  If Styles is gone, while not my favorite, Allen certainly will be.  They are neck and neck for OLB2.

There is a https://www.pff.com/draft/big-board?season=2026 which is pretty intersting because they have a consensus of all the mocks. If you believe its accurate we are probably looking at:

LB

Round 1 pick 19: Sonny Styles OSU (16), CJ Allen UGA (28).

Round 1 trade back: Anthony Hill Texas (34)

Round 2 pick 51: Jake Golday Cincy (63), Joshua Trotter Mizzou (76), Deonte Lawson Bama (79)

OT

Round 1 pick 19: Kadyn Proctor Bama (19), Caleb Lomu Utah (24)

Round 1 trade back: Gennings Dunker Iowa (36), Monroe Freeling UGA (37)

Round 2 pick 51: Caleb Tiernan NW (55), Blake Miller Clemson (58). 

As someone else mentioned, Styles or trade back.

We should have a short term and long term option at LT/RT. Yosh isn't capable of being average in a season long swath, he will get destroyed(which he did frequently this season). 

I say we draft a potential Ikey and/or Moton replacement and then sign a veteran LT option to fill in for a short stint. The veteran option could be dicey. We need someone actually better than Nijman which isn't going to be an easy ask.
