Sewell

[bythenbrs]

We may see four QB’s taken in the first 8 picks.  What are the realistic scenarios where Sewell is still on the board at 8?  If he is, I think you have to take him.  But what if Trey and Sewell are both still on the board at 8?  Teams don’t get to choose in this draft position often and when you do, you can’t afford to whiff.  Sewell looks like a high probability, long term solution at a position where we perennially have a dumpster fire.  

Trey may be a future franchise QB but at draft time, he is still developmental.  There is some level of risk.  You may whiff.

Choose Sewell.

ONLY if we think somebody like mac jones or trask can be the man, and ONLY if we haven't already offered three first and david tepper's balls in an ice chest to the texans for watson

0.0 chance he gets past the Bungles; our WFT winning culture made sure we have no shot at getting him

I would run to the podium for this guy

This would be a no brainer. The real question though (and more realistic one) is what if it is between Lance and Slater? 

[musicman]

Sewell won't make it to 8. Would love it and would jump on him picking him too. 

[Snake]

If he's there you're stupid not to pick him. I seriously doubt 8 QBs go though. 

[LinvilleGorge]

Sewell making it past the Bengals at #5 would be almost as shocking as the Jags picking anyone other than Lawrence.

[ncfan]

This is about as good as saying we should've taken Chase Young at our pick last year

I’m by no means a draft expert but a fair few media personalities prefer Rashawn Slater to Sewell.

Slater’s apparently has experience playing all 5 OLine spots. I don’t know how else to justify it because Sewell has always looked like a plug and play 10 year pro at LT.

Yeah, I'm seeing a lot of love for Slater over Sewell. We could have one of them and pick up a qb with one if the picks we didn't trade away. Hell, Teddy might even be better if he gets another second or 2.

If you're drafting an OL in the top 5 and he ends up playing anything other than LT then that's gotta be a little disappointing IMO.

Another second or two just means more time to find that checkdown. Hell, maybe being sped up wouldn't give him time to get to the checkdown.

I saw some ranking/mock yesterday that had the Bengals picking Slater over Sewell, the "big four" QBs being gobbled up before we draft, and Sewell sitting there for us at #8 and being picked.

I don't think it is as incredibly unlikely as some have posted, but I do think it is unlikely.  But, with 7 teams ahead of us, if 4 take QBs that only leaves 3 other picks.  I realize some here think the big four, Jones, Sewell, Slater, Surtain, Darrisaw, Farley, Pitts, and Parsons will all be gone by the time the #8 pick comes around, but something tells me that is not likely to happen.
