And Hammerstripes raises a fantastic point. Where was all this "draft a WR" talk before?
The truth is that people saw the pro day numbers, see the LSU connection with Burrow, see the season Jefferson had, and fell in lust with a player we simply don't need. Now narratives are being crafted before our eyes on how desperate we are for a star WR, when I don't think anyone watching this team was saying that was our chief problem last year.
The thing that is driving me crazy about this 'debate' is that many in the Sewell crowd act like there are no worthy o-linemen after the 1st round. That's just silly as shit. There will be quality starters that can improve this line if Sewell isn't taken.
Same goes for a lot of the Chase crowd, acting like there aren't any options at WR if they don't take him. Equally as silly. There will be guys that can help Burrow and this offense after the 1st round if Chase isn't the pick.
Both of those guys are going to be absolute studs for the next decade or more, IMO, and both will elevate this team if taken...and they'll still get a quality talent at the other position in after the 1st round.
