Chase vs. Sewell

For me, it isn't just protecting Burrow, but getting him a true #1 WR.  

I can't imagine they won't at least sign one of the tackles.  If they want to draft the guard rather than pay a guy like Thuney (who may find he isn't going to get anywhere near 14 million on the open market with the cap position of so many teams), then they had better pay for a FA OT.  If Chase is gone, and you get Sewell, you could consider moving Jonah to LG and have Sewell playing LT while the FA plays the right side.  Then you could get your WR in Rd 2 and there would still likely be a pretty strong talent there.  

I just want Chase so badly.  I look at the top offenses in the past 20 years with Palmer and Dalton and they had a true #1 (Chad, AJ) and depth of talent behind them.  Chad had TJ, and AJ had Jones Jr and Sanu.  Add Chase and we would have a lethal WR corps.  

Burrow I think can make do with Tee, Boyd, Mixon, Gio, Tate, Sample and a couple other weapons added.

But he cannot make do without a competent Offensive Line.

Burrow throws to the open man, the ball gets spreaded.

True #1 is an overrated thought IMO.

When is the last time a true #1 WR won a Super Bowl by himself?

I’m super high on Chase myself, but I see a lot of potential in Tee.

Tee is our #1 already.
