It looks like we may have dodged a bullet by drafting Chase instead of Sewell:
Quote:Dan Campbell will have to wait a little longer to see one of his newest kneecap biters on the field.
Lions No. 7 overall pick Penei Sewell said on social media Wednesday that he tested positive for COVID-19 and therefore will not attend this weekend’s rookie minicamp in Detroit.
“Found out this past weekend I tested positive for COVID,” Sewell said on Twitter. “Really wish I was heading to my new home today and able to be at mini-camp with my new teammates and coaches. Look forward to getting out to the D as soon as I’m cleared!”
Sewell likely won’t miss out on too much, especially considering he’s already been in the Lions’ facility for a tour and a press conference after the team selected him.
Though the NFL Players Association was encouraging incoming players to skip rookie minicamp and voluntary offseason workouts, the Jets, Raiders, and Colts had near-perfect attendance at their minicamps last weekend.
I hope it's as minor as it sounds and I'd never wish Covid on anyone, but, with our luck, it might end up being a blessing that we didn't draft him.

Not really sure how this is a blessing. He will be fine.

Never said it was a blessing that he has it but, like I said, with our luck, I'm glad that we didn't draft him.

Really?
I just hope and pray he recovers fully. This has zero to do with drafting.

Yes, I know you didn't say that and didn't mean to insinuate that you did. You said, " it might end up being a blessing that we didn't draft him." I'm just stating not sure how it would be? No big deal, I just don't see how a player getting covid in the offseason or anytime for that matter has to do with anything unless he's one of the unfortunate ones which I doubt. Detroit fans would be more upset if he was complaining of a toenail stub that caused redness than a covid diagnosis (which is probably another false positive anyway).

He’ll likely be fine and back with the team in no time.
And anyone can test positive for COVID, even people who don’t have COVID. Has 0 effect on whether or not it was a good draft pick.

Assuming he makes full recovery, I'm not seeing how the Bengals "dodged a bullet" by not drafting Sewell.
With that said, there's no guarantee that a person will fully recover from COVID.

Well, he will miss rookie minicamp. It's probably a tiny thing, but maybe a little less tiny for a guy who's only 20 and did not play football for a season.
If the Bengals had picked him, there would be some discomfort about that I suppose. Hence I get where the OP is coming from.

Maybe Detroit will cut him and we can pick him up?

I wonder if someone at his draft party was infected and spread it there?

He did it all for the covid, "What?" he was devoted, "what?" and MF got promoted and said, "Stick it up our "Yeah," stick it up our "Yeah," stick it up our, "Yeah!"

Yessir, my wife had a false positive on one of the instant tests. The did the full test and came back negative. (thankfully) But I agree with you, and the others in this thread that Sewell getting covid has no bearing on weather we did or didn't select him being a good or bad move. Just dumb luck. Hope the guy is healthy soon.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

Hell, I don't think it would have mattered if he was diagnosed minutes before the draft. The outcome probably would have been the same.

With the family/friend gatherings many players had for draft night, it felt inevitable that a few players would test positive. I'm sure he'll be fine.

Fun fact - Nookie came out a year before Penei Sewell was born.

The NFL does retests in the event of a positive test. Since Sewell has been ruled out of rookie camp, it's safe to say he has been retested and it's not a false positive.
Everyone I know who's gotten COVID falls more into "Just dumb" than "Just dumb luck.".

Everyone that YOU know. However, I know plenty of people who have been very observant of the protocols and procedures, and still were infected. That is why I say "just dumb luck". Now, this isn't the place for this particular line of discussion, so let's please just leave it at that.

That's a ****** up thing to say.
I know plenty of Healthcare workers who got it while helping other people so in your mind they are dumb for helping others?
Seriously we get it... you hate Sewell and have a man crush on Chase but to drag that into calling people who have died from a disease dumb is beyond pathetic.

None of the healthcare workers I know have gotten COVID, though all have dealt with people with COVID. I wouldn't call a healthcare worker that gets COVID dumb because it goes with the job, though. Penei Sewell isn't a healthcare worker, though.
As for the rest of your overdramatic BS, you continue to prove over and over again that reading comprehension isn't your strong suit. Now that's truly pathetic.
