What do we do if Sewell is gone at 3?

I wouldn't reach for a prospect, so I'd go with either Chase or Surtain if I can't trade down.
I'd probably lean Surtain in that situation, as I'd be looking to either have a CB1 to pair with Waynes if WJ3 isn't re-signed or planning to move on from Waynes in 2022 if WJ3 is retained. You may say the Bengals can't move on from Waynes, but 2022 is his final year under contract and would free up $11 mill in cap space ($16 mill cap hit minus $5 mill dead cap).

Mine as well

There's so much that can and (usually) will happen between now and the end of April. There very well could be 5 or even 6 1st round QB's selected and the will change everything. Look at all the aging QB's who's time is quickly coming to an end, Brady, Brees, Newton, Ryan, Stafford, Rivers, Pig Ben. I'd venture to say 1 or more of those teams may be shuffling for position.

The Bengals have to address their lines, period. To be able to get back in the hunt we have to fix the trenches. We probably need at least two quality starters on both lines. And we need to enhance the backups. 

Our interior Oline is among the worst in the league, we have to fix it. I'm leaning harder and harder every day towards trading back and taking the biggest haul we can get.
