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.

      Jack Roslovic: Only 2 other UFA, right-handed centers age 28 or under had more points (39) than him- Sam Bennett (51) and Pius Suter (46). There were 4 other centers age 33 and older who scored more: Gireaux (37), Marchand (37), Tavares (34), Granlund (33).  Unless the Canes go old, if they let Jack walk, they won't get a center who scored more.  Thoughts?

      It's important to differentiate criticism and hate. I can't speak for that individual you quoted. But most people who have been critical of the Tepper's have been so because both of them have made it a point to put themselves front and center and in the middle of team operations and we have been largely horrific more often than not as a result. If people are making derogatory remarks about her that should be met with an appropriate response but if people are being defensive just because she's being criticized all I can say is people should get used to it. Both her and David would have been getting absolutely skewered by the media and the fans if this were a big market franchise. The Lakers are finally being sold off after years and years of public criticism of Jeannie Buss and even though I'm the furthest you could go from being a Lakers fan just about anyone you could meet who is familiar with the NBA would say the criticism was certainly valid.
