Plus really like the Carman pick for where we drafted him yet Carman is a rookie and switching positions so there will be a few growing pains even if he is good.
Would have loved to have gotten Sewell and Carman though. But once Burrow lobbied for Chase I canceled Christmas on that wish.
Yet do like Chase and wanting Sewell is no knock on him. Remember saying about Burrow before drafting that my only concern was that Chase may have been making him look better than he actually was. Glad Joe proved otherwise.
But just don't have faith in the other two o-lineman who will start until I witness it first hand.
Reiff allowed less sacks and committed fewer penalties than both Thuney and Orlando Brown last season. He is a major upgrade
over Hart. Jonah played well last year considering it was the first time playing in the NFL, hope the injury bug is over as you say.
Carman is an upgrade already over Redmond and was made to play Guard at the next level. He won't have to face speed rushers
and can just maul defenders in the run game. If Hopkins comes back healthy he is a good pass protector. I think between Spain
and XSF the LG position will have a good competition. This isn't even mentioning the upgrade at OL coach.
I think we could be more than decent this year on the OL if we stay healthy. The question is depth after our starters IMO.
I did want Sewell and would of loved a Sewell/Carman start to the Draft but no one can deny Chase's talent.
