I'd feel better about taking Sewell had he turned out to be the consensus unbelievable prospect people made him out to be during the season. Dane Brugler has Sewell as his OT1, but would rank him as a prospect behind three guys from last year. If Sewell was a Joe Thomas level prospect, I doubt Miami would have traded out of 3. And it would be hard to take him at 5 knowing you probably could have traded back to 9 and still gotten him.
On the other hand, if they wait until the second round to take an OL, there's a good chance we are right back here next spring needing a tackle. If you take Sewell, I'm confident he becomes at minimum a productive right tackle and the draft opens up in 2022.
