This is tough for me. Personally, I think the whole OL position thing is very overblown. AVT wasn't drafted to play Tackle, yet he's been fine when there. Tristan Wirfs played RT for 2 or 3 years before converting to LT. Most OL can play multiple positions if they really need to, regardless of where they've played in the past. I'm sure this kid played LT in high school, and he should have the time and mentoring to get the footwork and positioning down before the Jets need him at either tackle spot. Chances are they will have him take reps at both OT spots if they take him. To me, if a guy is the best OT available, you take him regardless of positional labels. Talent in the NFL shows through. To my knowledge, typically the distinction between RT and LT at the NFL level comes down to size and arm length. Fuaga does have shorter arms than Fashanu and Fautanu, by a half inch and inch respectively. He also has bigger hands than either. The Jets do buy into the size thing compared to some teams (as best I can tell), so I can't tell if this will impact anything. To me the bigger issue is that JD can't identify OL talent to save his job (perhaps literally). Taking Becton over wirfs was already unforgivable, and 4 OLs worth of guys have come and gone since his hiring. I love tippman and AVT but they were pretty much consensus top ranked players at their iOL positions, not hidden gems. I don't trust anyone JD likes at this point unless they're the clear cut best choice (which would be Alt here lol) -
