Cleveland had Joe Thomas and Mitchell Schwartz, the best bookends in the game at the time. Also had Alex Mack for a while at C. Their OL is worse now but have a better QB and others and are much better as a team. Dallas had the best OL in the game for years and won 1 playoff game.

An OL is a piece of the puzzle as is a QB. The QB is the most important piece and even with the best LT, you can’t block the entire DL. Dallas used a ton of 1st round picks on OL and their D was meh. Have to get a QB and a little more drafting luck as well. Need to hit on day 2 picks and maybe a day 3 here and there.

Matt Kalil was a sure thing too. It’s still a risk (maybe less of a risk, but still a risk). If they like Lance or Wilson, no one will blame them for risking a high draft pick for the potential QB of your future. 
 

if we extend Moton and draft Sewell, we would just be a version of the Vikings when Teddy was there as our peak. Not terrible, at best we make the playoffs and maybe win a game. If we draft Lance or Wilson and they are the next great QB, our ceiling is the Super Bowl.

I understand that--but how many of the QBs taken early in round 1 over the last 10 years were decent?  Taking the 4th best QB with the sixth overall pick is hardly wise in the long run.   We need to make sure that our desperation for a QB does not cause us to pass on the best LT to come out in over a decade or more--all of the early first round bust QBs looked great in college....

Somebody gets it and has some perspective.

How much of his evaluation was relying on him turning out to be great because of his brother?

Ryan had 3 Pro bowl selections and here comes his brother, the one with more talent coming into the league...
at a position of bigger value.
Also his team mate Tyron Smith came into the league the year before and did great at right tackle.

 

________

what i am after is, why did the evaluation go sooo wrong...  projection of things that might not have been there or something...

It is more likely (statistically) that Sewell is the next great LT and Lance or Wilson is the next Rosen or Manziel.  Not saying that I think that--but if Sewell is on the board and you take a flyer on either of these two QBs instead, you are likely making a long-term mistake.  Full Stop.

Yeah, they have their QB. Time to build a line for him.

They would be foolish to pass on him---but they are the Bengals.   The only way I see it is if a team like New England gives Cincinnati a ton to move up for a QB---I think BB now realizes the source of his "Greatness" and it was not his reflection.  I could see the Pats doing something like that.

If you use the logic, "Well Matt Kalil was a LT..." Then you are selecting an isolated incident where it did not work out to make a statement about the whole.  It is a weak argument because for every Matt Kalil he can find, I can find 20 Jamarcus Russells.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
