Heading into the bottom of the hour break, they mentioned that reports are coming from Cincinnati that the Bengals are actually eyeing the possibility of drafting Lamar Chase.  Their obvious initial reaction was of shock at how the Bengals, a team that watched their #1OA franchise QB, go down with a season ending injury to his knee.  After the break, they took the rest of the segment to examine the positives and negatives of both sides of the Chase/Sewell debate.  While conceding that either would be a tremendous addition to the Bengals team, it was mutually agreed that taking the OL was indeed the smarter way to go.

Thanks for posting this. Another two names- and one of them a wideout. There may be a split between fans, but it seems like there's no split whatsoever between those who've actually played/managed in the league.

It's absurd that so many ppl in Cincinnati listen to the analytics community. It seems like a lot of the groupthink is sourced there.
