Would like to hear everyone’s opinion on this comparison between the potential OL in 2026 (Goosby-Coleman?-Robertson-Baker-Siani) and the unit in 2022 (Banks-Conner-Majors-Hutson-Jones)?

2026 should be better.  Far greater maturity, experience.

The 2026 OL is a dramatic upgrade over the 22 OL in terms of age, experience, and overall ceiling. Goosby as a fourth year junior should be better than Banks as a true freshman, even as great as Banks was. Goosby is first team all-America level good. Robertson as a fifth year senior is probably a push, maybe a slight downgrade, with Majors as a third year sophomore. Siani is an upgrade over Christian Jones, but it might be close. Baker as a junior is miles beyond Campbell as a true freshman. Sikorski will be older and more experienced than a true freshman Hutson, who was also pretty terrible that year. Honestly, it’s really not even close.

Remember, Arch has wheels and moves well within the pocket, plus the running backs are not dancers. They are darters! Big difference.

And the key factor for Arch: he can get away from one rusher, it’s only when multiple guys get through that he has a problem. So even if the LG gets beat, if the other guys hold up, we’ll be fine.
