Dude you're hilarious...
Or what if they Kick Hart into Guard, and Kick Jonah inside to guard

It'd be funny at this point if it didn't mean another season of watching Joe Burrow getting murdered A-GOD-DAMN-GAIN.

Honestly, with Sewell's age and taking the year off, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to plug him in at G for a year or two to get used to the NFL game before kicking him out to T.

It wouldn't be overly inspiring to see a team that's struggled to find quality o-linemen for a half decade pass up on the most highly touted OL prospect in a long time. You don't find yourself in that spot often. You def don't pass the guy up and trade back to make room for a guy like Reiff.
My best case scenario would be Sewell taking the LT spot he's destined for, Reiff at RT, then Jonah to the interior, maybe even center, as Lapham has often suggested.

Golladay + Reiff = Pitts + 2nd round lineman
Everything in this post is my fault.

Wasn't aware of that.
Pretty nice bump from previous years. Wonder how much of that was due to Aaron Rodgers, after playing in front of Stafford and Flacco?
I think Burrow could allow him to keep playing at that level.

Williams has the tools to be an elite LG. He could kick over to either spot if needed to. Nothing should preclude landing talent on this line. Reiff signing shouldn't allow the stupidity of passing on Sewell unless it's an amazing trade package. The staff believing in Williams at LT and using a high resource shouldn't block Reiff. Maybe RR goes to RT.

Pretty sure they're in person; as I've seen a lot of "physical checkout" attached to many

Draft Sewell and put him at guard until they are done with Reif. Voila.

That's right, insult Jonah by pushing him inside so he refuses to sign a second contract and walks...

Makes sense. Sewell sat out last year and putting him at G for the first season or two will get him back into game speed and shape.

I believe at this time ALL Visits are Virtual by players.

I saw that Golladay is having an in-person visit with the Giants.
https://www.barstoolsports.com/blog/3354238/the-giants-are-bringing-in-kenny-golladay-for-a-free-agent-visit-which-are-apparently-still-a-thing-in-2021
I'm not sure if we're doing it or not though, or if there's restrictions. But I would assume if this particular player is actually going there in person to meet with Joe Judge and Co., and he's not coming here then that wouldn't bode too well for us. I would hope we have one scheduled as well.

Absolutely, he'd be a force on either side and heck of a 3rd tackle. They'd have a heck of a base with those three. Don't get cute and pass on him for Pitts.

He’d be a beast at G. Mixon would probably have a career year.
