If they do take Chase (or Pitts) in Rd. 1, the next 24 hours are going to be stressssful, particularly if there is a bit of a run on OL in the lower 1st. Whereas if they go Sewell then I am cool with nearly whatever in the 2nd. If they go Chase/Pitts there is almost a selfish part of me that wants them to trade back into the first even at the cost of some of next year's early picks just to avoid that heartburn. Bengals go Chase and then DL/CB/LB in the 2nd there will be much teeth gnashing in Bengaldom. Great point.
They still have some money to spend, I'd sign or consider dealing a 5th or 6th for a starter level OL to avoid being in this spot. Zaven Collins is a good example of a quality prospect worth taking if he falls, regardless of DL and OL need. Chase could be the right pick, and not building the line by the 2nd red shouldn't pin you to take a lesser player because of the need.
