He can get around and is a very good pass protector, I think he will be an upgrade over Volson immediately.
True, this is why Fairchild is strictly a Guard and not a Tackle like Rivers can be for us. Rivers has long arms and play LT.
Still, having longer arms does help OL just the way it is. Ratledge might struggle in the NFL as he has pretty short arms, we will see.
I wonder if that would have been the case if the Bengals had drafted him?
