That's you're opinion, however I'm not as high on Sewell as I am on Chase. I know I don't hold the popular opinion but Sewell doesn't have a lot of experience, and our track record isn't great as of late developing guys.Bengals1 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 22, 2021 7:54 pmIf we sign a young, first class Free Agent to play RT then Swallow would be redundant. But if we just sign some journeyman to fill the position as a hedge against Penile not being there and then it turns out he is you take him and fill the position for a decade or more.MeatHeadbengal wrote: ↑Mon Feb 22, 2021 7:48 pmI'm on the opposite side of the fence on this issue, I like Chase over Sewell. I think we need to address RT in FA instead of trying to develop a guy since we haven't had much luck doing that in a while.

If they don't take Penile in the first round then the pick need to be a DE. Outside of terrible OL play then next biggest problem was not being able to pressure the other team QB.
Re: Draft Talk - Cuz it's never too early...
Is there a DE that's worth the #5 pick? It seems like a draft that's deep at edge rusher but not with a high-end guy. Round 2 should have some really good options to rush the passer.

I can see your point meat. If we sign a starter for tackle and maybe an interior oline man I wouldn't be disappointed in taken chase.MeatHeadbengal wrote: ↑Mon Feb 22, 2021 7:48 pmI'm on the opposite side of the fence on this issue, I like Chase over Sewell.

I love Chase, but not over Sewell. If Sewell is there you take him. If not then I wouldn't mind drafting Chase.
Sewell has the highest grade ever for a power 5 OT prospect-ever! 6'6 330, 20 years old. I just don't see how you pass this kid up.
I was crazy back when being crazy really meant something.

Re: Draft Talk - Cuz it's never too early...
if there was a DL worth taking at 5, or heck in the top 15 for that matter, this would be a mute point. i think they have to tag lawson and depending on addressing G and T in FA they'd be free to take Chase
Re: Draft Talk - Cuz it's never too early...
Then trade down. DL is a very close second to OL in needs and LB/CB isn't very far behind. This D was terrible last year and two best players are FA. 1st 5 rounds need to D or OL.

So was David Boston then he got to the NFL which tested for 'roids and couldn't stay healthy. When he quite playing at LSU last year all his drug testing also ended.skycruiser wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 2:08 pmY’all see this pic of Chase beside devonta and Justin Jefferson?

There's no evidence of Chase using 'roids and using this as an excuse to not draft him would be a very intellectually dishonest comparison...4256 Hits wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 2:54 pmSo was David Boston then he got to the NFL which tested for 'roids and couldn't stay healthy.

However knowing our bloody nose type division I would advocate for having a guy built like Chase over Smith.

Taylor "Waste of Space" Mays was built like Adonis but played like he had feet of clay....
