The Eich Factor

I like PFF but that is deeper into the weeds than I've bothered to venture so far. Since you seem to consider PFF a reliable source as I do, when comparing their Pass Blocking Efficiency percentages, Risner is very close to Van Roten career-wise, as well as most of the Dolphins OGs last season besides Hunt.
Van Roten: 97.1
Cotton: 96.9
Wynn: 96.9
Risner: 97.3
Jones: 97.0
Eichenberg: 95.9 (which includes his atrocious rookie season at LT, and his snaps at C last season) Eich was 97.4 in 2023 which was mostly at C plus the 3 games at LG/RG. So he is trending up.
Driscoll was 96.5 in 2021 his one season of nearly all RG. His PBE when playing either OT is worse than Eich's.

So IMO, it is splitting hairs to say Van Roten would be an upgrade but to dismiss Risner as he simply sucks. One other positive about Risner is he's very durable. He's only missed 4 games in his career. There could be something to the story foisted by Slowmar Smelly that Barry and Risner do not get along. If he is correct for a change, well, any notion of Risner being signed would seem to be a nonstarter. It is Slowmar though so I guess we should consider the source. Since Cam Fleming was another one who played for Barry in 2022 and we never signed him either, when depth at OT looked like a need, maybe the unit-wide blaming of Barry for their perceived struggles was really a thing. I do not know either way. I'm sure most of us can only speculate about it.

Eich's PBE at OG last year was 98.6.

I see this quite a bit, it's an interesting narrative comparing the two. Jackson played in 3 games of 2022, but for all we know without the injury could have broken out that year. He also hasn't played as poorly as Eich consistently. Hell Jacksons worst year is still better than any of Eichs.

Jackson played parts of only 2 games in 2022. He was injured in Week 1. Then in his first game back, the Texans game, he got hurt again.

So basically if we can leave Eich at OG 100% of the time, no one we could sign would be an upgrade.

If he could repeat that for a whole season at OG, that is probably true. I'd be inclined to look at that 98.6 and his last 5 or so games from 2022 (97.0) together to get a larger sample size and be more conservative.

Eichenbust is definitely in the PROVE IT stage of his career. Do it now or go away. I hope he proves to be the answer we traded up for... but I think the loss of Hunt is significant.

No doubt Hunt was a level or two above anyone we have at this point. That's why he was able to command a big contract.

Be that as it may, I would not have matched it either, so now we have to move on.
