Sewell has now measured in at 33 1/4" arms, so we should apply the same to Sewell and say his ability to stay at OT is questionable.
Honestly, that's really disappointing. I was hoping Sewell would secure his generational talent standpoint so that the Bengals would take him. Now I think it almost has to be Chase.
Folks are kinda "fluid" on their criteria depending on how much they like/dislike a player. Here' how arm length matterd last year in the NFL:

***Missing data***
Eichenberg: 32.33
Sewell: 33.25
2 bfine favs (Darrisaw/Brown) meet/exceed the 34" threshold. So I'm gonna say Arm length is very important...
I also take drill numbers with a grain of salt. While Slater and Penei were practicing 3 cone drills, ect...with personal trainers; Darrisaw was blocking the like of Phillips, Roche, Weaver, Jones II, Rumph.....
