People who want Sewell want a receiver in 2. It has to be a WR and a OL in the first 2 rounds, the only x-factor is in what order.
It seems that as we near the draft, the possibility of a highly regarded pass rusher slipping to us in 2 grows. Rousseau was once the guy that many thought was number 1 in terms of the position. Now he's in apparent free fall. Paye is dropping a bit, too. Wrs like Marshall are rising. A run on OL is expected. There are only so many slots.
What do you do if you're sitting there with the 5th pick in round 2 and one of these guys is still out there?
I brought this up in a recent thread. I agree with Tobin that we are not pigeon-holed into doing anything. If we take Chase in the first and have a top edge guy in the 2nd like Basham or Rosseau then grab them. I like that value of a DE at this spot. I also think Oline talent will be available in the3rd and 4th round. Chase/ Basham/ OT Christenson/ C- Josh Myers off the top of my head and I am happy as a lark.
