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.

      I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.

      Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.

      Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
