You cannot underestimate the fact that Burrow and Chase have already played together and have chemistry. That alone almost guarantees that Chase will be successful right from the get go....plug and play. You are not likely to find a WR anywhere near as talented in the 2nd round, much less one that Burrow already trusts and has played with.
Sewell sat out a year, played in a spread offense at Oregon which is terrible for teaching proper pass protection, and faced very little top level defenses playing in the PAC12. He is not even the consensus top OT.
So Im looking at a few things:
1. Which player has the better chance of NOT being good?
2. What is the talent like in the 2nd round at that position if we don't draft that player in the first?
For me, #1 was answered above, and #2 is clear cut also....there is much better talent available in the 2nd round at O line than there is at WR. I am on the draft Chase in the 1st, take an O lineman in the 2nd bandwagon.
