Olumuyiwa Fashanu
21-Year-Old
Lands with Jets
The Jets selected Fashanu in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 11th overall.
ANALYSIS
Fashanu is an interesting choice for a Jets team that is built to win now and also added veteran tackles in Tyron Smith and Morgan Moses this offseason. However, given the age and contracts of those vets, getting a tackle for the future does make sense. Fashanu, who was teammates with Caleb Williams in high school, starred at Penn State as a three-year starter at left tackle. He could have left school after the 2022 season and been selected in the first round but went back to Happy Valley for one more year and became a consensus All-American for the second time. He did not allow a sack in his 29 appearances and tested well at the combine. Fashanu can either be brought along slowly by the Jets or challenge for a starting spot somewhere along the offensive line this year.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Goes 14th to Saints in Davis' mock
Thursday's mock draft from Charles Davis of NFL.com has the Saints selecting Fashanu with the 14th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
ANALYSIS
Fashanu is viewed as one of the top offensive line prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft, along with the likes of Joe Alt and Taliese Fuaga. Davis has Alt going seventh overall to Tennessee and Fuaga coming off the board to Vegas with the pick preceding the Saints' selection of Fashanu. New Orleans has numerous question marks along the offensive line, and veteran Andrus Peat is a free agent after starting 102 games for the Saints since 2015, so drafting Fashanu out of Penn State would help the Saints fill a hole at tackle.
