im not quite sure why this guy was still there

That's where is value was.  Most boards had him topping out at mid-third round.  He was my last hope for a LT this draft.  I had a sigh of relief when his named was called.

Same arm length as Penei Sewell and 1/4 of an inch longer than Rashawn Slater. 

No. Both Sewell and Slater have 33 inch arms.

Christensen has 32 inch arms.

33 in arms are a negative.

So you can only imagine what 32 in arms are.

34 in arms is considered the starting point people want for an OT.

The longer the better.

Two things he has to be coached up on, his feet and nastiness. His kick-step is sloppy and undisciplined.  He seems too content on doing just enough to win the rep instead of beating his man handily.

his feet are fine.

his problem is hands and anchoring quicker.

Hand placement/usage is 100% coachable.  Getting big dudes with 'two left feet' to learn to waltz, well that's a bit harder to do.  He has the size and strength to anchor, but is content on trying to wash the defender instead engaging.

At the draft presser last week someone asked Fitt if arm length matters in tackles and he sort of just laughed and said "yeah I guess".

The arm length measurable thing is such an overrated stat in my book.  If the guy can hold his block 3-5 seconds consistently, he's good enough.  The QB has to get the dam ball out faster.

All he has to be is strong, mean and can hold his own.  The kid should be able to do the well enough.  We shall see.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.

      Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
