Does it have to be the pick.at 5??
It’s imperative to address it in FA. For one, we get proven starters ready to protect Burrow now. Not projects or players that need to develop and learn on the job. It also opens up the draft so we’re not locked in to any one position and we can truly go BPA. Say Sewell is gone by 5, and we don’t like any of the trade back offers, but we desperately need OL since we didn’t bring in actual bonafide starters (not XSF, Quinton Spain types) then they could feel the need to reach for the 2nd or 3rd best OT on most people’s boards with a top 5 pick. That would be very bad, imo. Take care of business in FA, and then if Sewell is still there for us, it’s a great choice between the top OT in the class or some of the best playmakers.
