Slater would be good value if we trade back.
There are some pretty good OL projected in rounds 2-3. Leatherwood. Davis. Etc. We aren't relying on Duke's expertise. We are relying in Pollack's. Much safer bet.
Scenario #1. Sewell available at #5. Take Sewell. Period. One of Jonah, Sewell, or Reiff move to G. We likely draft a G/C in round 2 or 3. WR also likely there.
Scenario #2: Sewell gone. I'd simply take Chase at that point. Though trading down and taking Slater/Smith/Waddle plus nabbing an extra 2nd is tempting. 1 QB has to be on the board if Sewell is gone when we pick. Depends on how far back we are moving and the haul in return.
Scenario #3. Both Sewell & Chase are gone.
Now, at least 2 QBs are on the board at #5. Stay & take Pitts/Smith, or move down? I favor moving down here. But not by much. And only so far. Still need a shot at Derrishaw/Waddle (worst case) or Slater/Smith/Pitts (if only a couple spots down). The added pick needs to be 2021, not 2022. We need help now.
Sewell all day if he’s available. I think we’ve overrated Pollack / offensive line coaches in general the most important thing is that the player has talent you can only do so much with bad offensive lineman. We’ve blamed Turner and Alexander for are poor line play when all the players have been signed/ drafted under Tobin. The run O was better under Pollack but Hart had his worst season, we started guys like Remond and he couldn’t fix Price. Pollock was also released by Dallas before he came to us. I’m fine with trading down as long as you have multiple targets because yours might be gone when you pick. Finding a tackle in round 2 scares me because that tackle run gets crazy.
