They felt the immediate impact because of their chemistry would likely benefit sooner. The entire organization needed a quick start to a winning season. Support was poor and they needed to win some games out the box. Sewell had played in a different blocking scheme at Oregon. His video wasn’t helpful. But I know for fact they thought either choice would serve them well. Tannenbaum’s takes aren’t absurd. What’s to note is that he easily criticizes the Bengals often and said they should disband the franchise if they didn’t take Sewell over Chase. I’m sorry such an over the top commentary opens him up to scrutiny. I say let him have it on twitter.

Saying the Bengals should be disbanded for taking Chase over Sewell is a pretty absurd take.  Herbert over Burrow is also pretty absurd when we consider that Herbert wasn't graded higher than Burrow coming out.  That seems more along the lines of the national media trying to push Burrow to pull an Eli.  

Sewell and Herbert would have been good picks, but the Bengals should not have taken them over Chase and Burrow.
