Saturday is a former O-lineman... and Foxworth is a former CB... both said Sewell.
But Saturday is more then a former OL guy. He is a guy that is counted on by the NFLPA after his retirement. He can't be bias to one position group, wouldn't be much good the NFLPA if he was biased.
Chase is a nice piece in a room that has talent. Higgins and Boyd are above average WR's I think everyone can agree to that.
The OL has no one that is a Higgins or a Boyd. Williams? Maybe, but he is less durable then Lawson who people were okay with him being gone cause he couldn't stay healthy. Reiff? He was hurt last year, we don't actually know what we have there. Spain, solid guy, decent player, but he is on the Auden Tate level of player. XSF, again, hurt last year and the year before in Dallas. So, what do we have there? Hopkins, tore his ACL, what will he be like when healthy?
This is actually really simple when you look at the groups and realize that Sewell and Chase are equally talented prospects. If you believe Chase is better, so be it, but he isn't like prospect 2 and Sewell is 22... it's more like Chase is 2 and Sewell is 3, 4, or 5 situation.
So, the gap in prospect talent is tiny. That means you look at what helps you more now and long-term. Look at the two position groups with what we know. Not what we hope... what we know. OL needs the talent more then WR. Sewell and Dyami Brown or Marshall Jr (I still think he or the guy from Ole Miss or both will be there at 38) is a great haul and will help more then say Chase and Eichenberg.
