Argument for and against Sewell.

All of their starting OL besides Wills has a run blocking grade of 70+.
The only starting OL on the Bengals that has that is Bobby Hart.

So if the Bengals want to be more like the Browns, they need OL who can run block better along with pass block. I doubt Hopkins ever gets there, as he's never been a good run blocker. Williams may, but he's not there right now. Spain has only had a run blocking grade of 70+ one year in his career - 2016, so I doubt he ever gets there either (assuming he's re-signed).

Thuney is consistently decent/solid in run blocking, but it's not his forte either.

I'm just trying to set the proper expectation that even with adding Sewell and Thuney, the running game may not become strong like it is with the Browns.

It’s definitely never going to be as good as the Browns. They have the best 0ne-two punch at RB in the league.
