Thanks for the video. May I make a suggestion? It would be very helpful if you circled or highlighted the player we are watching- and perhaps use slow motion to allow us to see what you see or are talking about? Hope you find this helpful!
Alt is only 20 years old, that’s insanely impressive.
I think he has a higher floor than fashanu. But he will never be as good as fashanu could be if he puts it all together. There is something very passive about alts style. Always feels like he is either just trying to hold a point in the run game or giving some ground in the pass game. Rather than driving and burying the defender in the run game or not worrying about being beat by speed and giving no ground.
@@blankname6629 Joe Alt is better than olu fashanu
@@justinalley3399 based on what? He doesn’t bend as well and is not as powerful.
Titans fans, this is our video
Preach it!
Jets fans, we will watch it after the Titans fans are done.
Keep in mind we have Bill Calahan as our OL coach now so whichever we pick is going to end up being the better in the NFL.
100%
Titans fan here, so as long as we bolster our o-line, Alt or Fashanu will be fine with me either way
Titans: "Best I can do is neither."
You got the sleeper pick, the player Joe Blewitt, and Mike Martz all considered to be better than Alt or Olu. And me, fwiw. "When this guy punches you, you stay punched". Latham is more of right guard, but all three can really play both -- it's just a matter of where their strengths are now. And Latham has the best anchor of the three: you cannot move him.
I know everyone wants a QB or MHJ for my Pats, but I’d be ecstatic if we still end up with Joe Alt even if we miss on MHJ or the top QBs. Has the potential to lock down left tackle for the next decade or more. Hasn’t been present in NE for a long time. Would love to have him.
Thought the same for a two months getting a franchise lt can help with whatever the coaching happen to be and our caps space and other high picks
*I agree whole heartedly. I’ve been sick of Trent Brown’s BS for the last two years. He’s not worth the drama or money.*
I’m screaming from the highest mountain top we Patriots need tackle take the tackle hands down
Couldn't agree more. We should trade down and acquire additional draft capital. Arizona may want to secure MHJ by trading up to pick 3 by giving 4 and 27. Atlanta has picks 8/43 which also works. Not sure Alt is there at 8 however as Tennessee likely takes him at 7.
a lineman wont help us
I don’t think either team will be disappointed when these two get drafted…
very interesting video good job!
I like ALT overall because of his athleticism plus his recovery ability. He'll be a top 15 pick and so will fashanu.
Alt will go top 10, probably top 8
alt playing too far away is likely coached, watch the right tackle and the same thing happens
Great video, while alt might be the better prospect I still think that Olu will be drafted first bc as of right now the top 5 draft spots are all pass-heavy teams
Would love to see the Pats swing a deal move to 5 or 6 gain a couple of draft picks then pick Alt and do what has to be done to get back in the teens for a qb. Take a wr early in round 2 and you have addressed your 3 glaring needs.
Titans fan…no thanks.
you need to highlight the player in your clips. I suggest finding a software that will allow this
Chicago for Alt!
Joe Alt looks like the dude from Rudy, that almost puts Rudy into a coma at practice, but then starts the “Rudy” chant
Do a report on the top 10 kick returners in college that's coming into the draft. Twenty twenty four
Both are franchise tackles, but Fashanu has more strength & quickness.
Alt is probably better. Id be happy with Fashanu as a football fan
As a Titan fan get either one thats available at 7
We are moving back and getting fashanu
I'm at the point now where I'm about ready to put the "big two" RTs (Latham and Fuaga) ahead of the "big two" LTs (Alt and Fashanu).
All fax I think those two got more dog in them than these two …. The RT prospects have a chance to be dominant (90+ madden) but these two ceilings are good LTs (80-89 madden)
@@antonioc3995 this year has shown me over and over again just how much of the draft media apparatus is completely talking out their ass when it comes to prospect evals/mock drafts. I feel like I must be watching a different player when I hear ppl talk about a lot of this year's 1st rd talent
@@jonjonr4788 mims could be thrown in there with the top RTs but yeah Alt and Fashuna look worse than all three especially the kid from oregan st…. Kid has that dog in him…. Look how he chases mfs around and runs with the rb when run blocking
I sure hope my Giants draft one of them
@@craigfisherman2880 hell yea, Andrew Thomas + fuaga/Latham would be unreal OT tandem. Only thing is, if you're sitting at 5th overall and Nabers plus one of the QBs - probably Daniels - is available... at the end of the day, not a bad spot to be in!
How is injury history deemed 1 point out of 10 traits? Injury history is often one of the deciding factors for NFL clubs during the draft process....
An LT with a tendency to hold is an absolute killer. Can't have it. However, now that we have Callahan Sr. as our O Line coach, I trust he'll pick the right guy.
Browns fan here and Callahan we gonna miss for sure
Hey Chase! Who would you take for the Chargers if both guys were there early in the draft? If we traded back, which RT would you take?
Honestly, I don’t think the Chargers need a tackle but I also liked Salyer more on the outside than the inside. Given Moore’s aggressive nature and how that offense should be going deep a lot, Herbert’s going to need more time in the pocket. Both blockers will give you that time, but since Herbert is extremely poised I’d prefer Alt as a Chargers fan. He’ll bend more than Fashanu but not break as much. If you were to trade down, I’m not 100% sure who I would prefer yet since I haven’t finalized anyone’s scouting reports. I’ll have my final OL grades out in a March video, but as of right now I’m really liking Fuaga as a pure right tackle. Latham’s a good option as well but I think he might move inside in the NFL. I do like the idea of taking a RT later in the draft than taking one in the first round.
I think alt looks a lil stiff in pass blocking, he might get shredded against speedy edge rushers.
How is ALLOWING PRESSURE and HOLDING more coachable?
Fashanu is the best tackle in the class by far right now at the point of this comment. Alt just has size. Fatanu and Saumataia are also guys to check out.
Alt is better. pass sets and athleticism plus durability.
Alt is also the best run blocker in the draft olu fashanu cant run block too save his life
The pocket thing with Alt seems over blown. I’m no lineman but it seems coachable. 2ndly you say it would be bad paired with a bad or inexperienced QB… but that’s only about half the league AND most aren’t sticking around long. What about when paired with the best or expierenced QBs in the league like Herbert, Rodgers, and even Cousins. It’s no longer a negative
As a Jet fan I am certain that if we take either, he will be injured early and often.
I have question, but first I don't believe you can go wrong drafting either one of then. Now what I like to know is which guy would be more successful moving to RT and does either one have experience play other OL position other than LT?
In college, both prospects only started games at left tackle, and I’m unsure how many snaps they played at other spots. Despite that, they both are likely going to stick to the left tackle spot, but if I had to switch one I would likely switch Fashanu since he gives up more obvious pressures and a quarterback can escape more efficiently if it comes from there than if it comes from his blindside.
@@chasekellerjournalism Thank You for your response. The reason I asked is because I feel Evan Neal needs to move to RG and I was wondering which OT can better fit the Giants at RT Alt or Fashanu?
Alt is the ultimate LT prospect given his length an athleticism. RT tends to be thicker and stronger but not quite as athletic.
@@diggingmystyle I hear you and typically that might be the norm, but with all the speed rushers most teams would prefer to have 2 LT one on the left one on the RT
@@ramongonzalez6653 ahh...I guess that makes sense
Imo i think alt reminds me of nate solder and maybe could play guard and pull on run blocking assignments to drive defenders away from rbs. And fashanu as a right guard that that is a straight run blocker with to high of pads for my desire. If i had to choose i believe alt is better and could become better sooner. I would draft him higher however im not sold that either is elite LT status but alt is my choice of the two.
Alt is WAY too tall to play guard
@@gavinc1539 Yah, you really don't want that much length on your interior line. Unless Kansas City drafts him and they let him line up three yards behind the line of scrimmage 😂😂
Alt is the best tackle in the class
Alt is taller, longer, younger, and more athletic. Fashanu is stronger and more polished. Can't go wrong with either but I believe Alt is the better prospect in the long run.
I’ll take either one to the Bears at the 9th pick to protect the rookie quarterback
As a PSU fan I don't recall many holding penalties vs Olu.
Giants should draft Fashanu
Every single highlight I’ve ever seen is just of joe alt not bringing power at the POA any dlineman with good power rushes are going to dominate him. He doesn’t have any of the power in run or pass as olu.
I've noticed that: it's the reason he gets pushed into the pocket. Strong pass rushers tend to punch him off balance, which keeps him from anchoring, and instead he has to shove back and forth.
Although for the bears❤
Joe Alt he the better athelete , he would have been the number one tackle last year too. Ranked 3rd last year ranked 2nd this year the guy is beast.
Fashanu is better than Alt. Alt is the "Alt"ernative if Fashanu is not available. 😁
ALT future Patriot as much as I want MHJ
Alt is better I get Greg Robinson vibes with Fashanu
This is too nitpicky. Olu was a good run blocker. Olu has the quickest feet I've seen for an OT prospect. Olu gave up ZERO sacks in 2 years. Olu is clearly the better pass blocker which is most important in NFL. Alt is a great prospect but I'd take Olu.
have either of them played right tackle?
I don't believe Alt has. He started as a Freshman as the LT and never gave up the spot.
Hope Joe Alt isn't top heavy like Evan Neal
One of these guys could be a Washington Commander
What about penalty wise?
Joe Alt has the edge over Fashanu for penalties (Fashanu had 4 in 2023, Alt had 2). But at the same time, Fashanu went all of 2022 without a penalty compared to Alt suffering 1. I didn’t make penalties their own section, but I did try to briefly mention it in the technique section, as Fashanu’s hand technique / recovery technique could lead to more holding calls in the league.
Joe Alt +power +technique +anchor and durable
Joe Alt. Notre Dame produces great olineman. Nashanu could be the next Erik Flowers or Evan Neal.
🤔
If it wasn’t for Marvin Harrison I would’ve told the bears to get both 🤣
Caleb Williams?
Wdym by compact?
In terms of Alt, he can play too far from his body and could play more compact, that meaning playing closer to his body.
@@chasekellerjournalism don’t you want to use your length?
@@wayneverhoff2790 You obviously want to use your length, but especially when squared up with a rusher, playing that far away doesn’t allow for maximum leg drive/use of play strength, which is mostly the reason why the pocket closes too easily with Alt. It’s a different story when pass blocking and anticipating the rush.
@@chasekellerjournalism So you mean off the snap?
Sounds like alts about to be a Cardinal
Doubt it.... right now they have the 2nd overall and they'll get MHJ. Or they may trade down for more picks. They have a lot of holes to fill!!! They just drafted johnson at OT.
@@diabolivirtusen-tavares-ea4645 they have Houstons pick also,
Neither of these two will be available by the time Arizona’s second pick comes up. Amarius Mims is a good fit for Arizona at that selection.
Alt has better PFF grade the past 2 seasons
2024 NFL Draft Jets Select ALT OUT OF NOTRE DAME
Oh no....there goes his career.
Unfortunately we got olu
Alt it's not a debate.
They both don’t look impressive at all compared to Fuaga tbh…. Fashanu is holding in half of these “highlights” and Alt looks weak and gets pushed back by these relatively small college D line men… he’s going to get killed by top NFL guys
J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets 🔥🛫
There's no way Alt is better. Look at the film. He's weak at the point of attack and a weak run blocker. My eye test say's Fashaunu and it's not even close. I wouldn't draft Alt in the top 15.
I don't get how anybody watches Alt and sees acceptable pro level strength. I mean honestly. He never ever delivers any kind of a jolt to any defenders at point of engagement. Like ever. Rarely redirects or dominates. Alt is gonna disappoint
When was the last time you beat michigan
Penn State fan I’m guessing?
And you are an getting paid by what team?
Holy shit, you are either blind or biased. Alt has never, EVER been "weak" at the point of attack. Alt is now and will be a FAR BETTER PRO than Fashanu. And it's not close.
From the eye test Fashonu looks better
JC Latham
JC Latham has one negative: he overcommits, allowing him to get crossed on the inside. Fix that and you've got a swing tackle that's better than both Fashaunu and Alt, but I guess we'll see when the season starts.
