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.

I'm probably more negative of Lucas Patrick than I should be, but the dude hasn't played significant snaps at RG since 2020.
Between his nearly 500 snaps at LG last year and >900 snaps at both OG spots in 2020 though (the only two years he played a good number of snaps at OG), he only allowed 3 sacks and 26 total pressures, so he may be ok.
I just am very nervous for someone who hasn't been a full-season starter at OG in 5 years.

And as much optimism as I may have in Fairchild's potential, there's a reason he wasn't projected as a 1st rounder and didn't go until 3rd round. He does have some growth/work to do.

So while I am not ready to say it's much of an upgrade over the previous guys, I am willing to say there's more optimism than before.
