As I said.....we're fluid. I guarantee you if there were a prospect folks didn't like and he had short arms; they'd damn sure bring it up.
I saw folks do it last year with QBs and hand size...btw...Justin Herbert had 10" hands
I haven't seen one person say Sewell is going to be a bust because of arm length, but bottom line; if you're designing the perfect LT from scratch; you'd want arms closer to 35" than 33".
I like Sewell and would be ecstatic if we take him at 5OA, but if I was wanting to go with "generational talent". I'd like the arms to at least reach 34"
It is more than arm length. Sewell is a wide body also. If you are wider by 2 to 4 inches, then having 1 inch shorter arms gets negated.

I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
