Fwiw, I was Team Pitts pretty much the entire offseason.  Obviously we didn't have a chance to take him, but I valued him as more of a sure thing than Sewell.  As far as Sewell vs. Chase, I probably would have went with Sewell and either inked a WR in FA or a WR in the 2nd or 3rd. 

All that said, I really do think people on here overvalue Sewell.  I get wanting to address the OL; I just don't agree he's a can't miss sure thing, who immediately is going to a legitmate starter.

Fair enough. I respect your opinion, but I think some underestimate how good a prospect Sewell is. A lot of great players have come from the Pac 12. Who did Justin Herbert play against? I think it's a lame reason to dismiss a talent.

One thing I've never understood is why folk diminish the Reiff signing because it's only a "one year rental". Would it have addressed a bigger need if we signed him to multiple years?

So in your draft we should have gotten Sewell, Marshall,(both who have missed time in mini-camp), and Jackson? Where did we get the extra 2nd?

Expect to "rub noses" in poor line play all you want; although I don't know why..

No one said the Texans are a model franchise. What I was saying is I'm sure their medical staff is at least as competent as ours, no? In your rush to disagree with me, I guess you missed what I was saying.

It didn't have to be Carman. Tbh, I thought he was a pretty mediocre prospect for where we took him. As far as Reiff, he was a solid signing for this year. We still have other holes though, and if he leaves next year, it's possible the entire line is a need next year. There is a lot of potential for such a scenario.

This really isn't all that complicated or hard to figure out.
