We could take Chase in round 1, an interior guy in round 2, then take a long term Tackle next year and be okay.
That said, I still lean Sewell for many reasons, including letting Higgins try to grow into the WR1 role, and the fact that Sewell is a fantastic prospect that doesn't fall in our laps often. Also the fact that we do so well with 2nd round WR's.
But I digress. If it plays out that way (Chase, interior line, 1st round Tackle next year), I guess that wouldn't be the worst thing to happen.
I mentioned this in another thread, if it’s Sewell playing guard or an actual guard in the 2nd, our line and subsequently Joe Burrow’s health this year are basically in the same situation. You can argue Sewell sets us up for the future at a more important position but the argument we need to have Sewell to keep Burrow safe THIS YEAR is flawed yet the main one people keep banging the drum on. Funny enough, if there is a knock on Sewell it’s that his pass protection could be a little rough early on because he lacks experience and gets lazy letting guys into his body at times...so the thing everyone thinks he fixes he probably doesn’t even fix this year.
