Prospect is somewhat tied to upside. Sewell was not really a prospect he was a bonafide predicted star.

Do you have ability to prove that?
I do pay for PFF, but I don't pay for the tier that allows me to see week-to-week.
If you don't have access to that tier either, maybe you saw someone post it somewhere online?
I just personally don't believe you because a player doesn't drop from Top 15 to 49th after playing injured for two games.
Look at Hopkins if you want an example. He played way better in 2nd half of season compared to first half, but his cumulative grade for the full season was still not great because of how poorly he did the first half.

As for Raimann's upside, sure he may have good upside, but what have you seen in Pollack that gives you high confidence he's going to turn a project into a star?
I personally haven't seen him turn any draft pick into a good starter yet.

EDIT - I found an article on Cincy Jungle from Oct 21 that says the following:

Quote:Reiff hasn’t exactly been the second coming of Willie Anderson, but he has been the upgrade he was brought in to be. Among starting right tackles, Reiff ranks 13th in Pro Football Focus’ Pass Blocking Efficiency rating. This is impressive considering Reiff has been charged with allowing three sacks—the fifth-most at his position—since PBE weighs sacks allowed more than hurries and quarterback hits allowed. Aside from a handful of drive-altering blunders, Reiff has done his best to live up the hype.

If that's what you were going off, that's not nearly as good as you made it sound.
1) Being 13th in pass blocking efficiency rating among starting RTs only. That's basically middle of pack.
2) He had already allowed 3 sacks after 6 games, which was 5th most at his position. Not exactly upper-tier performance.
3) Pass block efficiency rating is not the only thing the cumulative rating is factoring in.

So unless you have some way to prove your point, it sounds more like Reiff was more middle-of-the-pack at RT (and only when fully healthy), not a Top 15 OT.
