Even players that played with Sewell are struggling. Shane Lemieux is starting at G for the Giants and according to PFF, he is likely the worst starter at any position on any team. With over 500 snaps played, he has a 32 grade.

A big thing to look at is coaching and also the type of prospect you're looking at.

Ohio State has had the same OL coach since '16.  He's had a couple of highly touted busts in Elflein and Price that are similar in skill set and athletic ability to Davis. MJ is also a disappointment, but he was basically a guy being drafted for traits instead of being a polished player.

Oregon changed OL coaches in '18.  Lemieux is a totally different kind of prospect than Sewell.  He was an athletically limited G with a mean streak that got by by bullying and overpowering inferior competition.  Now that he's facing NFL talent, he simply can't keep up.  Sewell is a guy with ridiculous upside who is very raw.  You're drafting him for his traits, not as a finished product.
