The "bust" and "success" metrics in this thread are really interesting btw.  I'm of the mind that both Sewell and Chase are going to be good, if not great, players.  Which one moves the needle the most, assuming that neither busts?  Who would be the most "rare" and difficult to replace?  I'm of the mind that we saw the answer to that question play out in front of our eyes each and every time that we saw this team with AJ Green in his prime make the playoffs.  A WR1 can be schemed out of a game - a star studded OL protecting a great QB cannot.

Sure they can. Pass rushers will just attack the weakest links. And the top guys are moving around more than ever these days. Garrett even lined up at DT last year in one of the Cleveland games to exploit Fred Johnson at RG.
