If the 3rd best OL were the 3rd best prospect overall you'd be thrilled. Darrishaw and Slater are solid prospects, but just options if they do trade down. I'm opposed to taking them at 5 with the "they weren't going to be there when we picked next" theory.
The bigger issue is this draft is ripe with QB prospects and teams will pony up to trade up. It takes two, but those deals will be there. Sewell is the 2nd best prospect and top option for me, regardless of signing a OT and not wanting to move William's you take him unless you're bowled over. Ive actually got trade as 2nd option. If it's a few spots I'd rather stack capital and still land one of Smith, Slater, Darrishaw, Pitts or even a defensive BPA. Chase is my 3rd option based on potential and chemistry with Burrow.
