And that's the interesting debate. I think Sewell was a great prospect. But, Jonah Williams was considered a finished product too.

Evan Mathis sucked here. Then went to the Eagles and was the best Guard in the league. This was quite some time ago.

He did an AMA on Reddit or something similar and talked about how the Eagles had a really aggressive blocking scheme and he called himself a caveman and said it fit him well. The implication was that the Bengals used a passive scheme.
