Sewell vs Chase Civil War

Indeed, and I told Nico I'd listen to what Pike's take on things was and I do respect Pike's opinion.

The real concern for me Wes, and Nico and everyone else on team Chase or Pitts that says I'm being bullish in my stance on Sewell is my fear of the Bengals doing the absolute wrong thing. Not saying Chase is wrong or Pitts... but taking either of them and still skipping O-line like last year...scares the hell out of me.


If you have to pick one of these two groups, which one scares you more to start the season with:

Higgins, Boyd, Tate, Mike Thomas, Stanley Morgan Jr, and then a 3rd or 4th round guy like (Tylan Wallace, Sage Surratt,  Amon-Ra St. Brown, Dazz Newsome)

or

Reiff, Williams, Spain, XSF, Hopkins/Price (If Hopkins recovers) backed up with Jordan, Price, Fred Johnson and then a 3rd or 4th rounder like (Maybe Trey Smith as he is hard to project, Josh Myers, Spencer Brown, James Hudson, Meinerz)




I really worry someone is going to fall, the coaches will fall in love with the prospect, and like Higgins last year (which as a Clemson guy I love him being here) we go for another spot that isn't OL. Everyone keeps saying, they'll be plenty of OL in round 2... great, can you predict Duke Tobin? Can you be certain that round 2 is Carman or Vera Tucker or Cosmi? 


I just feel like even if they pass on Chase, the group of WR's will be okay, and we might even find a Marvin Jones like guy in round 4 or 5 (I really think Josh Palmer from Tennessee is going to be big time.) I just will hit the panic button if they skip Sewell and then skip the line again in round 2 and that possibility is real.
