That is the rub...there is no offensive linemen worth #5 overall except Sewell. Also no DT or DE (in my opinion....I don't see Rousseau as that big an impact player).
I could absolutely see trading out of that spot to a team that really wants a QB (Washington? Detroit? New England? Indy? Vegas? Denver? Chicago? Minnesota? Carolina? New Orleans? Atlanta? San Francisco? There are really quite a few that would like to go for a rookie contract QB).
That being said, we have to be prepared to make a pick if we don't get a haul for the #5 pick. The Lions were hoping for some deal at #3 overall last year and didn't get the offer. They made the best pick they would with Okudah, but they probably would have liked to have multiple picks.
Based on the projections that Lawrence, Fields, and Sewell are gone, I would be prepared to make Chase our pick.
