That's not what I meant.

What I meant was that when fans are worried about how well the coaches are at developing talent, they want the earliest pick possible to take the highest-rated prospect because they think that player is the best/easiest to become a great player.

Fans want Sewell because they think he has an All-Pro ceiling but also should be a monster right out of the gate. And they have worry that if they miss out on Sewell, they may get a guy who isn't as good right away and needs some critical developmental work to become good. Given how Turner doesn't really have a track record of developing players into elite guys, they want Sewell because they feel he's already going to be great and won't need much work at all.
