Whitworth did it, and Sewell was going to do the same thing. So by those fans logic, drafting Sewell to play guard will get burrow killed.
Carman has all the traits to be a really good guard, the line’s biggest weakness and whoever they took first was going to get penciled in as the starting guard day 1 whether that was Sewell or Slater. I don’t believe Darrisaw was on there radar but he could be the best LT in this draft class
I basically agree with Benton on this. Carman is clearly a guard. Sewell could've played guard, but would've definitely been our RT in the long term. So this signals to me that the Bengals think we're "all set" at Tackle, which is pretty concerning.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
