Not to mention, people are talking about moving him inside, to a position he hasn't played since High School. And fwiw, I consider OL one of the harder positions to transtion to in the NFL.
I'm not pointing this out to say he's a bad pick or he won't pan out long-term. I just think the idea of him coming in and immediately being a huge upgrade might be a tad premature. I would not at all be shocked if he's a below average starter in year 1.
I agree, I actually think it is really premature to think he will come in and automatically be an upgrade, especially if we start
Sewell at LT and move Jonah inside. Think people have been hard on Jonah in his first year starting, he WAS our best OL.
Sewell sometimes lets his hands get outside of the Defenders chest and holds and gets away with it. Great run blocker but I
think he may struggle pass blocking early on cause of this bad habit. Would love to pick Sewell, just saying, he might not be
near as good for us as a rookie as say Pitts or Chase would IMO.
