Sewell was considered by most to be the #1 non-QB prospect in the draft. Just sayin'.

I don't think the story has been written for either of them, but one position is sexy, and one isn't. It's too easy to say Chase is better than Sewell based on their position. But, regardless of positional need, Sewell was considered the better player on most big boards.

This time last year Jaycee was mocked in the early 2nd, Lance was a borderline 1st, Zach Wilson was in the teens. There is quite a bit of pre draft to happen before stuff is set.

If Stingley, Gardner, Hamilton are as special as everyone says I think they all go top 10 and the OL slide. 1-2 QBs are gonna go top 10. Ojabo may slide in there. 

My top 12 would look like this:

1. Jax - Thibodeaux

2. Lions - Pickett (I don’t think it’s the right pick but it’s the Lions). 

3. Hou - Hutchinson (historically this franchise LOVES big time DL. He’s the next in line). 

4. Jets - Stingley (trying to recreate Revis island). 
 

5. Seahawks (via Giants) - Gardner 

6. WFT (via Panthers) - Willis (RR finds his future at QB)

7. Seahawks - Evan Neal (they need to replace Duane Brown). 
** I also think the Hawks could go get Garoppolo if they trade Wilson as in this scenario. 
8. ATL - Hamilton (Falcons needs a safety and Hamilton fits the need and BPA).

9. Green Bay (via Denver) - Garrett Wilson (Davante and Rodgers are both out to Denver via trade and FA). 
 

10. Jets - Ekwonu - Jets are patient and get their final piece to an elite OL for Zach Wilson. 
 

11. CAR - Charles Cross (Panthers move down and still get BPA, two extra picks this year and a position of need). 

*** I think they would use the assets to move back into position to get either Sam Howell or Matt Corral as WFT would have to trade pick 42. Panthers could trade 2022 42 and 2023 2nd round and a 4th round pick to try and get back into the bottom of the 1st round.

Also Positional value chart has LT higher then WR...

Ya gotta use Kiper's board so he doesn't get mad at you and trash the pick.

Meh, who am I kidding, the Panthers pick is the "TV Break" pick every year.

The offense doesn't give us the luxury of going BPA.

If I remember correctly Burrow was really wanting Chase. As someone already posted they already had a decent LT, so they drafted Chase and made their franchise QB happy. It wasn’t that big of a reach or surprise really.

Didn’t they draft a LT the year before Burrow though? Jonah Williams

Going BPA is how you end up with players like Brown, butler, Benjimen.   Sometimes you have to draft for need

Replace injury with appetite and you are right.

Yes but look at this starting line

jonah williams LT 1st rd pick 

quinten Spain guard undrafted FA

trey Hopkins undrafted FA

hakeem adeniji 6th rd pick

isiah prince 6th rd pick (Miami)

the fact burrow made this work into a Super Bowl team is insane.

I can’t stress enough that this is not normal. Burrow is just really special. We absolutely need to snag a qb and I’m on board with grabbing one at 6 but we need to throw draft picks and FA money at the line as well because what burrow has done here is the exception not the norm. Like usually you would need an elite defense to counteract shitty oline play but they don’t even have that. Burrow has just been incredible in big moments and the defense has been opportunistic.
