Careful. That's all it takes to start a holy war around here.

Because he has taste?

I was hoping for Sewell. But lots of players still on the board. And I'm hoping they don't reach just to get linemen going forward. There's more than a couple areas still needing attention. And remember, there are going to be additional cuts league wide post draft.
Bottom line is Chase is a Bengal now, and Sewell isn't. So I'm Team Chase now.

Ran a 4.58, fell to 10.6 yards per catch last year.
Just saying, he doesn't seem like a graceful ager. Fitzgerald moved to slot but didn't fall below 11.0avg until he was 33.

The Bears love paying backup QBs 10 million bucks to go 1-4.

Which is why only 1 has been picked thus far?

Yeah he just went 7th overall.
Top of the draft, just like 99% of "pundits" said he would.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.

In all fairness, it's not a lazy take. Burrow was on a record pace for getting hit last year and eventually got hurt. We can't run the ball and our O-line talent is awful.
That being said, you can't convince me its an F when you get one of the 4 elite guys in the draft. But there's plenty of room for criticism when you don't address the biggest weakness on your team and you don't spend some serious cash to protect your franchise in FA>
