@ Bengaloo and Nicomo - excellent videos, very informative. Reps to you both.
I'm firmly entrenched in the Sewell camp, mainly because it opens up the rest of the draft for us. If we take Chase at 5, we essentially have to take OL in the second round -- IMO, a few of the best OTs (Leatherwood, Mayfield, Jenkins) should be there in 2, but after that, you're looking at interior linemen and OT prospects at best. If we take Sewell, however, we can go BPA in 2 (hoping someone drops like Tee last year).
Also, one of the videos noted that the over/under on OL taken in Rd 1 was 6.5, but 4.5 for WR. So they're expecting a run on OL, putting us at risk of not getting a top OL in 2.
But I see the flip side as well. If we ended up with Chase in 1 and Leatherwood in 2, I'd be happy. BTW, I read somewhere that Leatherwood -- who is widely considered to be the 6-7 best OL prospect in this draft -- is already better than Jonah Williams ...
