For Team Sewell

Whitworth did it, and Sewell was going to do the same thing. So by those fans logic, drafting Sewell to play guard will get burrow killed.

Carman has all the traits to be a really good guard, the line’s biggest weakness and whoever they took first was going to get penciled in as the starting guard day 1 whether that was Sewell or Slater. I don’t believe Darrisaw was on there radar but he could be the best LT in this draft class

I feel like I have to add a disclaimer to all my posts these days....
Disclaimer:  I was 50/50 on the first pick.  Undecided.  Felt we couldn't go wrong either way.

There was/is a lot of unreasonable verbal flailing among SOME (just some) of those who were die hard Sewell.  It was the same vocal minority that represent the crowd you speak of above.  Because they didn't know the pick, and frankly probably didn't care to know the pick because their guy wasn't taken, all they saw was "Tackle".  And because that is where many of them INITIALLY stopped, it lead to ashes on their heads and gnashing of teeth for 24 hours.  Some now get what the Bengals planned to do with him all along, which was to make him a guard, and are like "Ok.  Wait and see.", which is reasonable.  Others are still flailing and gnashing their teeth, and always will.  We'll be hearing about Sewell for years from them.  Nothing you can do but put them on ignore.
