Argument for and against Sewell.

Only way I could possibly see them trading down from 3 was to a team who really wanted a QB, and was still giving us a top 10 pick + a lot of change in return.  Even then, I'm still "iffy" on the idea.

Why?  Because as it currently stands, we could have bookend Tackles for the rest of Joe Burrow's career, pick up the best pass rusher with #35, and then go back for the best interior OL at #67.  That would work a long way toward curing much of what was wrong with this Bengals team.

Right. It's not like they have a shortage of high round draft picks each round. 

If someone offered something between 8-15 along with their 2nd to move up to #3, i wouldn't cry about it...until Sewell made All Pro for the 7th time and was solidly heading towards Canton and the Bengals were looking back at the career of Andre Smith v2.0.
