The addition of Reiff in my opinion was the better choice for 2021 shoring up the OL. I don't think Sewell would have beaten out Williams or Reiff to start in 2021 unless one got hurt.
So please let's debate this after 2021 and we see if Sewell was a great OT in year one, if not he could have been the one to get Burrow killed. No one knows for sure the outcome of the Bengal's 2021 draft yet, we may not know for years.
Sewell has NOTHING to do with this discussion. I think Reiff was a good pickup. I also think trading down in the second because we passed on Sewell for Chase(which Im fine with) meant address this issue in second round with best available lineman. There were plenty and we chose to trade down and eventually take Jackson. I think it was a mistake for an offensive line that performed so badly in 2020 to do. We should've been more aggressive in FA with the line too, but again another topic.
I don't think what Im saying is anything but common sense.
If your car engine has a ton of serious work that needs to be done are you going to get new tires instead? Even though the tires need replacing the car engine has more issues that need your addressing? Thats the front office in a nutshell...
Pollock is so much better than Turner but he cant polish a turd and thats what the OL was in 2020, pure shit.
