Let's go back in time a few years.every football 
Expert coast to coast raked the Bengals over 
The proverbial coals for drafting Chase over Sewell.
It was the biggest debate on this board ever. 
The Bengals front office went against conventional 
Thinking and took another playmaker to go 
With Tee Higgins. All that has done has got the 
Bengals to the AFC Championship Game 
2 years in a row and 1 SB. 
And if the Bengals add a healthy oline last year
No way the Chiefs go to the SB. 

The Bengals drafted Chase knowing it will not 
Be easy to retain the trio of Tee Joe but its
Not impossible. 

Can the Bengals draft replacements for Tee?. Of
Course. But are you willing to possibly let Higgins 
Go to another AFC team while you hope his 
Replacement can give you what Tee has.
Tee is a sure thing. 

Honestly, if the Bengals have to get rid of Tee or Chase...Sewell might have been the better move from a cap perspective for the long term.

The short term obviously has been great.
