Moving out of 5 with Pitts, Chase or Sewell on the board would be similar move to trading out of the spot if guys like Myles Garrett, Joe Burrow, the Bosas etc were on the board. I will be very disappointed if we don't get one of the big 3 guys in this draft.
For arguments sake, let’s say the Chargers want to move up from 13 to 5 to draft Sewell. I would do that trade for their 2021 2nd round pick (#47) and their 2022 1st round pick.
Let’s say at 13, Bengals draft OG Alijah Vera-Tucker who can start Day 1 at LG and can play OT in case of injury. At 38, they draft WR Terrace Marshall, Jr. At 47, the Bengals draft OC Creed Humphrey who can start at center if Hopkins isn’t ready or at RG if Hopkins is ready. And they would still have two first round picks in 2021, to target a RT next year after Reiff leaves.
I wouldn’t be disappointed by that.
