I think Chase and Pitts are both UNBELIEVABLE talents and weapons that can transform an offense. Some scouts have them as the THE top prospects in the draft. This is who I'm taking with a top 5 pick.
You can sure up offensive line in round 2 and still get a quality starter. Its a deep class for OL.
I'm sorry, but I'm just not spending a top 5 pick on an offensive lineman who hasn't played in a year.
Chase didn't play either
Problem with going Chase or Pitts is that if Joe does not have time to throw --it limits the routes those two can run and negates their strengths. Two biggest concerns about Joe last year -- Having to rush and not working through progressions and the deep ball. I think both are a product of no time. If he does not get time --he cannot develop and therefore won't able to use Pitts or Chase fully. Bengals need to plan for the next 3-5 years and not try to take a short cut. Developing Burrows is the most important task they had and they should have prioritized that last year and definitely need to this year. I would love to add Chase or Pitts but the O-Line being good is most important. Jonah was good when he played and Reif is solid. Hopkins is below average and hurt. Spain and XSF are good back-ups. Turner --if he signed could compete with those two but is far from a sure thing. If they had signed a very good guard I could have moved from Sewell/Slater to Chase but right now --the O-Line is still pretty crappy
