Both "teams" were right given Chase's success, but Burrow being battered, beat up, and reinjured while being sacked the most in the league and taking record breaking sack numbers in the postseason..... along with the brutal end to the season play from the Oline that cost us the Super Bowl and fairytale storybook ending. Nothing really was settled.
It's cool to keep an eye on Sewell's career. Trust me, if he had sucked we'd hear about it form those who want to move on now that his rookie season was impressive once he settled in.
We was certainly hearing about it when he struggled those first couple games at RT.... He was still a Lion then.
I agree. There is absolutely nothing wrong with keeping an eye on or discussing Sewell. Plenty of people discuss other players around the league all the time. The only issue with Sewell is that there was a hot debate around him or Chase. I wanted Sewell, but I loved the thought of Chase and knew that Chase was going to be the pick. I had no issue with that, and he was better than I could even imagine. I also still really like Sewell, he is a fantastic player like many thought he would be. He had his early struggles and once he settled in, he was stellar.
I do agree, there were some posters on here that were quick to point out Sewell's disappointing start and they became rather quiet as the season went on but I suspect that was due to fatigue around the conversation and Chase's success rather than Sewell picking up his play. Either way, they are both fantastic young players and it looks like there was several like them from this draft. Awesome draft class.
