The point. The focus should have been on the line. Building from the inside out. Burrow injury history hurts our long term success and while Chase (ignoring the defense in the playoff's) may have gotten that quick fix, if Burrow's career is shortened which would you want? Consistent winning or that 1 run. 

But again, this thread isn't about Sewell. 

So my argument stands, if we didn't have to buy a line (both sides of the ball), we could have bought receivers. 

Focusing on the OL is your personal preference, which has its faults and merits just like any other team building philosophy.  

Drafting one guy doesn't fix the OL.  Even if you take Sewell over Chase, we still have to buy an OL because every other draft pick we sunk into the OL has underwhelmed.  At best, you don't have to get Brown, but good luck getting a WR anywhere close to Chase's caliber for what Brown is getting paid.  Even a good #2 WR like Waddle, Slim Reaper, or Tee commands more than that.  

Neither of Burrow's major injuries post the Chase draft had anything to do with the LT.  Drafting Sewell, Chase, Slater, Pitts, Parsons, or whoever else doesn't change that.  It's false causality to claim his career was shortened by the Chase pick.
