I don't think I've seen much of any "we gotta take Slater, Darrisaw,..." at #5OA. I have seen quite a bit of "Chase or bust because Joe wants him".
The only thing I've ever heard Joe say directly when asked about Chase is "I wouldn't mind throwing to him". Really not the all all want that Albert Brier "reported" and folks around here have jumped on.
To be honest, knowing Joe's mentality, I'd be highly surprised if he's going out of his way to stump for anyone at this point in his career. He's always had a "respect must be earned" mentality. I doubt he's trying to be the biggest voice in the room going into his 2nd season.

Based on the fact that they played together and Chase is an incredible talent I am sure Joe would love to have him as a WR. But I doubt he is actually flexing or trying to force the team to draft him.
If media asked Joe how he felt about Sewell he would probably say he would be happy to play with him also. Same with Pitts.
No matter what happens it looks like Burrow is guaranteed to get an elite player added to his offense. I have argued strongly for Sewell, but I am not going to freak out if we take Pitts or Chase.
Agree with both takes. Any one if the three are going to upgrade the offense. It's really a win,win,win IMO.
