He's a high profile, high pick, taking #1 jersey, plus the Bengals were idiots for not taking Munoz jr guy to protect Joe the Hero football supposedly to boot.
The heat is on.
Pile on the fact of some self anointing our WRs as top three without playing any regular season games together... you can bet the media outside of Cincy area is gonna crank up the heat some more.
I'm not gonna chicken little over some drops but I'd wager a collective "WTF!" was shouted or at least muttered after 3 drops in a row.
The debacle of the Ross pick hangs a black storm cloud over us like Charlie Brown.
I don't think we're gonna regret the pick but totally understand why this question is asked and where it's coming from.
What I don't like is when people go out of their way to act like assbags about Sewell and the "shiny new toy" complex with Chase.
Our WR depth from Higgins & Boyd on down was atrocious.
Most of the worthy free agent WRs were demanding high dollar amounts and that's even if our team was on the list or just being used to negotiate elsewhere.
What were they gonna do? Strike gold on a later pick? Hope that Tate becomes The Beast and end zone threat that he really never was??
I think we’d be in a weird spot either way. I was, and am a big Sewell fan. I wanted Sewell and Amon Ra St. Brown, which the Lions picked up both. However, Sewell did not look good last night, just like Chase didn’t look good.
I think if we had picked Sewell, many fans would be saying “SEE, Sewell is struggling! We should have addressed our WR depth.” And unfortunately, since Chase has struggled, you’ll see people saying “should’ve picked Sewell!” One thing I will say is that our OL has looked good, which is all I was after. I think Sewell is going to be very good, and I think Chase will be, too. My main concern was protecting Burrow and so far, the OL is playing well. I also like what I have seen from Carman.
