Dude you're hilarious...Or what if they Kick Hart into Guard, and Kick Jonah inside to guard Sewell-Williams-Hopkins-Hart-Reiff ---- Let me not get ahead of myself.... disappointment would soon follow

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

If signing Reiff means not drafting Sewell, then I think it's just another short-term stopgap, and one that the Vikes had been looking to upgrade for a few years. This team specifically needed guards badly. No more Jordan and Redmond. A team that adds Reiff and keeps the two in the mix as starters is entirely unserious about improving. 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. ![[Image: 4CV0TeR.png]](https://i.imgur.com/4CV0TeR.png)

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
