Who do you want and why?

Sewell - best left tackle 

Pitts - arguably the best player available regardless of need

Surtain - best CB in the draft

Sewell - best player at greatest position of need.  “They (BPA) are more like guidelines than actual rules”

The better question might be if you replaced Sewell with Slater.  I still go Slater over Pitts--but I would hate life about it later.  Here is how I see it:

1. A good LT protects the blind side about 30 times each game.  A good LT keeps bad things from happening, so he is less admired by fans.

2. A good pass-catching TE is targeted 10-12 times per game.   A good TE causes good things to happen, so fans cheer for him. 

A LT is more valuable than a TE in general.  A lot more valuable.

Fair. Looks like Sewell is our consensus pick, not even a debate. It’s debatable if he will drop that low or if Dolphins or Bengals snag him before us.

    • I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
