Then the league seems to be in the midst of sea change in team building approach. Is the old trenches first mentality going away? Is outside in the new way to build around a young QB? Seeing the Bengals be near the forefront in the latter, accompanied by another poor quality team with similar needs, like the Dolphins did not provide much reassurance. Compared to a team such as the Browns who have hit their stride, not at the acquisition of OBJ, but when they elevated their O-line to a top of the league ranking it seems to still reinforce the old approach. It is certainly going to be interesting times ahead.
What people just need to get over is there was no "wrong" pick here. Picking Sewell was the right move for certain reasons. Picking Chase was the right mover for certain reasons. Picking Pitts would have been the right move for certain reasons. All this "Burrow's dead now" nonsense is just butthurt on overload because someone's favored player was not the pick.
