Groundhogs day.

Chase however will be a great asset to whoever is qb in 3 more years.

I think Chase is the pick, I think fans are in for a surprise in the 2nd round when they don't go Oline (due to the run on Oline prospects leaving some good dline help which is still a need and not a deep draft for defensive ends and tackles which means 2nd round is the best time to grab one that they have a high grade on.

Round 2 is going to be DL.

Tobin's comments should tell you that all day.... "He sees value on the line in 2 and 3"


There will be a huge OL run at the end of 1 and start of 2. These picks at 21 and beyond is the issue. Colts need a tackle, Pitt needs multiple OL players, Jets, Jacksonville, Packers, Chiefs, Dolphins, and who knows since the Bucs are loaded, perhaps they steal a guy to develop or just trade out of the pick.

But you can count after Sewell, Slater and Darrisaw go that 6 to 7 more OL players get drafted before we pick at 38. So, now there will be some LB, or Edge rusher or IDL that is graded too high to pass, and bam... we have 2019 draft part 2.

When you get handed a winning ticket (Sewell) you cash it in, you don't pass. Unless you are the Bengals. 

Look at how many picks in round 1 we've spent on OL trying to get it fixed, and anytime we spend a pick that isn't our first choice, or the clear and obvious one, it doesn't pan out. (Price, Ced, we took traded back and passed on DeCastro for Zeitler. Kevin is a nice player, but DeCastro is a monster at G we would all love to have. I still don't believe Jonah was the target in 19, otherwise why would the Steelers spend so much to jump up in front of us. We scrambled, and got a guy who is hurt a lot.) Sewell is viewed by everyone as a can't miss. He may not be a HoF player, but his floor at his absolute worst, he is still the best OL we would have... that means some bad OL doesn't see the field.
