Sewell and Pitts are there. Not sure if I like this approach as our media and FO have never been the most cleverish bunch.
Love Chase but don't play your hand so early. All 3 would be great picks but Sewell is most definitely of the biggest need at the
position of greatest weakness.
But one thing as Nicomo said is we take OL early a lot more than people think. The problem has been the picks, not the position
that was targeted.
I don't like it, but most every team has leaks by this point. The Falcons are supposedly looking at Pitts. Miami supposedly likes Waddle over Smith.
Not saying it is or isn't a smokescreen, but if the Bengals were trying to throw teams off, Chase would be the obvious guy to do it with given the Burrow connection.
However, it's looking like Chase. They need a starting WR and were unwilling to make a multi year offer for Golladay, then never really sniffed around any other WR's. That's the smoking gun. The Eagles also supposedly traded back from 6 because they were targeting Chase and knew we were going to take him.
