"Early on, one area of Sewell's game has been a struggle: pass-protection.
Detroit's defensive linemen and outside linebackers have been able to use crafty inside moves to blow past Sewell.
Austin Bryant, Bruce Hector, Da'Shawn Hand, Romeo Okwara and Jashon Cornell have all battled Sewell, and given him all he can handle the first three weeks of camp.
According to an observation from USA Today's Lions Wire, "Sewell has a tendency to get his weight set to the outside and quicker moves to the inside are beating him. This isn’t the first day Sewell has had this issue, and it’s a reminder that he’s a 20-year-old who hasn’t played football in almost two full years. It shows at times."

Point being, it's pretty silly to say we would should have drafted someone different based on one week of TC reports, especially when the other main option is having struggles of his own.
See, drafting Sewell instead of Chase would be much like executing Joe Burrow publicly.....
I read somewhere that no Offensive lineman out of college comes into the league ready to play. They all need work.
