Why is it forcing to draft a OT at #5 ? they might want to draft a Oline also especially since most FA signing are normally for 2/3 years....then they move one.
It's forcing to draft an OL at 5 if there's no OL worth taking at left on the board when the pick comes up. There's one in the draft worth taking that high, and that's Sewell. I don't think anyone has an issue taking Sewell, but it's a coin flip whether he falls to us or not. If you neglect the OL in FA gambling on Sewell being there and he's not, your options are to reach for the next best OL or just not address it at all.
Quality FA OL in their prime are not signing 2-3 year deals, either.
