Sewell vs Chase Civil War

[Whatever]

As for Bodine, you can't can't give him bonus points for being a 4th round pick. If the argument for passing on Sewell is "take a guy later", I don't want a guy who was semi-decent for a 4th rounder. Btw, starting games doesn't make you a good player. We were starting a guy who sucked, and that's why he was out of the league at 27 years old.

If we pass on Sewell and get a guy later who has the same career as Bodine (the best of the sad crop of mid round linemen we've taken recently), then that will be a failure of epic proportions.

To your last line, I'm not sure who you're talking about. The last lineman we took in the 2nd round was Jake Fisher...and he certainly wasn't all-pro.

CBS had Jonah at 3, and they were the go to at that time.  There was a ton of hype about Jonah, but it may not have seemed that way around here because there was no way he was supposed to fall to us, whereas it seems likely Sewell will make it to us.

Whether a pick is a hit or a whiff very much matters based on where they're drafted.  I don't think anybody is advocating waiting until round 4 to draft an OL.  Pretty much everyone that wants Chase or Pitts wants OL in 2 and again in 3 or 4.  

Fair point, there.  Completely blanked on Fisher.
