What do we do if Sewell is gone at 3?

I get nervous picking in that range as we’ve botched so many picks in the past. We’re in a great position to add an elite defensive playmaker/edge rusher that could be the missing piece on defense. You need to take advantage of that position when you’re in it. I’d rather sign a free agent guard, but wouldn’t be against this strategy if we actually hit on the picks.

The top-rated defensive player in the draft right now is Patrick Surtain, CB Alabama. Micah Parsons, LB Penn St, is also close, but the Bengals don't value LB like that. There isn't a clear-cut pass rusher who stands out above the rest at this point, so probably not worth taking a pass rusher 3rd overall.

Would you be ok with the Bengals taking Surtain?
