LT - OBJ
LG - Fairchild
C - Karras
RG - Patrick
RT - Mims
That would make sense given Fairchild was the starting LG at Georgia, so staying at LG should be easier for him.
Lucas Patrick though hasn't played significant snaps at RG since 2020. That season, he played 708 of his 939 offensive snaps at RG, allowing 3 sacks and 16 total pressures across those 939 offensive snaps. I don't have the breakdown just for RG snaps.
Exactly what I thought the starting OL would look like and I think it should be an upgrade over the Volson/Cappa line.
Plus with Mims going into his second season and having great experience, he should be better. Karras not having to play with the
worst Guards in the NFL on both sides of him should also help him.

Would have preferred a higher caliber vet like Scherff but at least they are not rolling out the same 2 turnstile guards from last year.
Yeah, I would still like to add Risner or Scherff myself as insurance.
Maybe Hernandez is on their minds once he gets healthy and fits the scheme better I don't know.
