Remove your Sewell stuff from the forum signature options. He's a Lion.
Yeah I'll do that at my own leisure, not yours.

There is a reason he fell so far.
Not hindsight when I said he'd be available in the 2nd before the draft.
Also, Carman has his own health concerns. Why are we assuming worst case for Marshall and best case for Carman?
Lets at least try to be fair here. Most outlets had Marshall going in the 2nd before the injury thing.

By converting the second pick into a G, a DT, and an OT they did much more to fix the problems than just picking Sewell first. Plus they got the best WR. Much smarter the way they actually did it.
The 2nd rounder wasn't "scrap heap", but I consider anything in rounds 4-6 to essentially be throwaway picks (or slightly above that, with the 4th). Most of them don't amount to much. So my analogy holds true. Whether it was "smarter" or not is subjective. Obviously.
If you really think we prioritized line over WR...man...I kinda wish we would've prioritized WR instead.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
