I am on team Sewell because we need to protect the family jewels (Burrow).
And because we really do not have a competent backup at ANY OL spot.
However, we do need a WR1 and while the draft has some WR depth, most of that depth is slot/jitterbug types once you get past Bateman & Marshall, who are likely gone by 38.
I will say, if we do go Chase (or Pitts), I'd prefer an elite IOL prospect over a middling OT prospect.
If I had my druthers, I'd do what Miami did. Trade down, then up. Net an extra first (future) and at least an extra 2nd & 3rd, with one being this year.
I'd still go Sewell/Slater (at say 7 or 8), then I might try and trade up using my extra 2nd to nab Bateman. Or stay put and nab IOL + BPA in Rd 2.
