First off, the safer, non bust pick in my opinion is Chase. Sewell hasn't played much college football. Lineman can be hit and miss in general. If you wanted to be safe and say "I didn't waste my pick", I think the answer is Chase. Even if he doesn't live up to best wide receiver in the class, which I think he is, he'll be a solid producer.
HOWEVER, good lineman are so much rarer than good wide outs! If you have a choice between an elite lineman or receiver, you jump at the lineman. I won't be upset with Chase, though once you get past the story and the Burrow connection, I think looking at the roster, Sewell and Pitts both make more sense in checking the boxes for dominant at their position and team need.
