[Whatever]

But do we really want to implement a culture shift and fill our roster with high-character young players who can develop? Or pick up aging vets on the decline with motivational red flags (e.g. being out of shape).  He also can't pass protect which is the main reason everyone wants him (because of keeping Burrow clean).  I just don't think he fits with the image of the team.

Redmond and Price both can run block and still develop.  I guess it comes down to our 2021 draft board and if IL is high on the list.

Can't pass protect is relative.  Is Warford a top tier pass blocker?  No.  Is he a billion times better than what we have?  Yes.

Last year, Price graded 1.6 in pass pro against the Rams.  That's out of 100.  Warford is so far beyond Price that the light from Warford takes a billion years to reach Price.
