I was Team Sewell and Penei's an absolute force. That said, I'm willing to admit when I was wrong. Chase has been the total package. We'll never know how much his mere presence has catapulted Burrow to the next level, but safe to assume it's played a crucial role. At worst, this is the case of a pick being a bit immaterial (unless we went bust-binging with Pitts). Half the things we achieve, we can't do without Chase. Half the things we don't, Sewell is powerless to change.
I kinda want that debate to end, tbh. I'm elated with Chase- he dictates defensive game plans. Sewell is an All-Pro in the making. Both things can be true- and they are. I think the Bengals and Lions are equally happy with their haul in the 2021 first round. Atlanta maybe not so much.
