This is why it's exciting! All I want is for the Bengals to get an elite level guy at 5 and then do what makes sense from there. If it is O line, great. If Chase/Pitts, great.
No more projects. No more injured guys. No more draft on what they COULD be. In round 1, draft what someone is... ELITE talent. And I'll be thrilled.
I can definitely say we're getting an elite player at 5...which is awesome.
Will I be happy if we take Chase? I guess I won't hate the player we'd be getting. Chase is an awesome prospect. I won't throw my remote at the TV or anything. I'd just hate passing on an equally awesome prospect at a position that has held this team back for a whopping 5 years (o-line in general), for what feels like a luxury pick. That's the part I can't get past.
Will I hate on Chase if we pick him? Absolutely not. Is there another way to fix the o-line? Maybe, but it's way more risky than the sure-fire stud that's probably falling in our laps. I'll keep my mind as open as I can, but I'll always feel like there's an obvious choice here, and it's not the WR.
TL/DR: I'm not budging here. Agree to disagree, sort of.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
