I guess if Sewell slid to say...19th overall that'd change my outlook. But he could slide to 11/12 simply because the top 4 took QB's, we take Chase, and the teams behind us don't need a Tackle as much as something else. For all we know, the teams at 11/12 could be elated that Sewell "fell" that far.
I think a lot of people being entrenched in Sewell is because the narrative has been that he is some sort of generational prospect. I just wonder if that wasn't the public-facing narrative for two years if people would be as entrenched. For instance, and it's just one team, but the Scout I often reference here his team did not have Sewell as a top 5 non-QB in this draft (don't ask me who the 5 are because he wouldn't tell me). I am sure other teams have Slater over Sewell, but the narrative has been since last year Sewell is this unquestionable monster and I just think that drives a lot of people around here's determination in "Sewell or Bust".
Time will tell if they are right or not in their evaluation, but I do think the possibility that Sewell isn't what people claim he is makes for an interesting thought experiment.
