His top 5 OTs in order:
Rashawn Slater
Penei Sewell
Jalen Mayfield
Teven Jenkins
Christian Darrisaw
Mayfield and Jenkins over Darrisaw? I’m surprised by that. I think Darrisaw would be a good fit for the Bengals.
I would be happy with Chase or Sewell. I’d also be happy trading back, drafting Darrisaw, and picking up an additional 1st or 2nd round pick.
At #5, you want an elite prospect, an impact player, and an immediate Day 1 plug and play player. The Bengals need a #1 WR to line up at the x position. Chase checks those boxes and has the added bonus of having played with Burrow in college.
In round 2, I’m not sure the Bengals can find a WR1 to line up at the x position. But, I’m almost certain they will be able to find a very good, but not elite, OT or OG who could be a Day 1 plug and play player somewhere along the interior offensive line.
If they draft Sewell at 5 and Terrace Marshall in the 2nd round, I don’t think that improves the team as much as the first option. That’s why I think the Bengals will pick Chase at 5.
