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.

Yeah, the 1st round was pretty much taken over by Defensive players (they even said prior to the draft that Offensive linemen would not go until the 2nd or 3rd.) and Fairchild played all of last year with a calf injury. He gave up one sack in 787 pass block reps. I think he's going to be fine.
