They know they have to protect Burrow more on his injury comeback. They need to block for Mixon more on his injury comeback also.  Why are Burrow and Mixon so injured, again the weak O Line.

Now if Sewell is not there, they could go for Slater who is only 6'3" and that in NFL is Guard Size. Bengals may not want a Guard Size in Round 1. Bengals do not value top guards as other teams like Steelers do. Mike Brown has never respected Guards.

CBS Mock Drafts have Sewell on the board going to The Bengals at Pick 5.  That is what Joe Burrow and Joe Mixon and Bengals Fans should HOPE for.  The true Top Pick Tackle size is 6'6" Outland Trophy Winner PENEI SEWELL.  If the Big Samoan is there, you take him, forget everybody else on the board.

If they sign Taylor Moton and Joe Thuney, why would they pick MORE oline early in the draft?

We would be set at OT, have one of the best WR groups in the league, and a good RB. We’d basically be a couple IOL players away from having an absolutely dominant offense.

(01-31-2021, 10:06 AM)Nicomo Cosca Wrote: Actually he’s not. Bringing in proven offensive linemen in FA is the fastest way to protect Burrow. I want Sewell as much as anyone, but the kid is 20 years old and hasn’t played football since 2019. Now could he come in and be a stud day one? Sure. We’ve seen guys like Whirfs and Becton do it recently, but it shouldn’t be counted on. That’s why you’re seeing a couple pundits say some of the other top OT prospects might be more NFL ready at the moment, but Sewell has the highest upside long term.

Sewell is my pick if available as of now too, but as of now with no FA signings, have no idea how OL looks prior to the draft yet.

If you get a guard in FA but no tackle and Sewell is there, take him.
If you get a tackle in FA but no guard, then there's a question.
If you get a tackle and a guard in FA, you can pass on him and go skill position.

(01-31-2021, 08:16 PM)Essex Johnson Wrote: Actually it is more simple you draft a player considered more transitional at their position than Burrow when we drafted him regardless of the rental Oline FAs you sign in and that is draft Sewell if available.
