but I suppose somebody will come with a PFF stat saying that the 2015 broncos line was below average or something

Some are acting like we have to use the first 5 picks on O-line. We need a future OT and a Guard.

Hopkins is a top 5 pass protecting Center BTW.

Especially when it sounds more and more like we’re not going to take him. I’m open to a few different guys at 5.

play Tackle in a pinch if we needed him to and he has been worked out by Pollack already.

The Oregon thing should give everyone pause.

Sewell played great there but he hasn't played against top competition like some of these other guys have.

Darrisaw, Slater and Eichenberg held their own against top Ends in their Conferences. Cosmi is damn good too.

Slater is a much more finished product and has great technique, which causes some to have him higher.  But Slater has size/length issues and is nearly topped out already, while Sewell has ridiculous upside. Some people will rate the more polished guy higher because that's their preference, while others will prioritize upside more.  I know one of the scouting services I look at that has Slater higher also has Smith over Chase because he's more polished as a route runner, but we're comparing Smith as a senior to Chase as a sophomore.

(03-29-2021, 11:00 PM)Nate (formerly eliminate08) Wrote: I am leaning in my own preference this way (not how I see it going I expect Chase)....

Pitts - TE
Eichenberg - OT
Carman - Guard a mauler
Patrick Jones - DE
Nixon - DT to replace Geno

Think Pitts is the next great offensive weapon like no other.

(03-30-2021, 12:28 PM)rfaulk34 Wrote: Sewell has good technique and power right now. It's funny how, someone says he's "not as polished" as a guy like Slater and all of the sudden, the guy is raw, needs coaching up, on the ground too much, etc etc, like he's nothing like the guy everyone saw last season. 

He's a big strong fast young physical freak that will step in day one and be a stud. 

(03-29-2021, 08:18 PM)Nate (formerly eliminate08) Wrote: We definitely need to add to the O-line, no one is saying anything different Ray. I would be more than happy with Sewell.

But he didn't even play last year and we have seen O-lineman bust and should know it could happen with Sewell.

We should also know how deep the Draft is at what positions, what is nice is it is very deep at OT and even has some very good 
interior O-lineman that should be available in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. It is the year of 1 year deals for FA's, if Reiff plays well which
I believe he will we probably re-sign him. To not be open to anything besides Sewell I find to be ignorant especially with players like
Pitts who could be the best pass catching prospect to ever come out and Chase who was Burrow's fave target at LSU.
