It’s still early but did Bengals make the right choice in the draft by choosing Chase over Sewell? Jamar is off to hot start but Burrow still taking a lot of hits. I think they did as Sewell seems to be off to a slower start but maybe lineman take longer to get up to NFL speed vs skill position players. Thoughts?

I don’t mind going Chase, but long term they would have been better if they traded down and got an extra first round pick and got an OL.

Bengals need interior OL, not OTs. They drafted one and seem to have drafted poorly.

Drafting Sewell that early to play OG would be a waste of resources.

Sewell would be a RT for them IF he played OT, and he was utterly terrible trying this week 1.

Why a team like Cincy didn't pick Trey Smith before he lasted six rounds is beyond me.

Dude will have an all-pro career.

They had Higgins and Boyd already. With offenses being so wide open, there are tons of good WR prospects coming out every year. I think it was undoubtedly the wrong decision.

Slater is looking like the offensive lineman of this draft but it's only been two games.

The tackle they took in the 2nd round isn’t even playing

Are we going to have to sit through LSU fans over analyzing the Bengals roster management for Burrows entire career?

Saw a highlight package of him blocking Bosa on YouTube.

I thought it was a good debut for Sewell

No, he's not. He's doing very well since moving to the left side

My problem isn’t Chase over Sewell, it’s when we took Carman in the 2nd, an OT and decided he’d be fine at guard. Everyone besides the people who drafted him knew he’d struggle.

FWIW, D’Ante Smith from ECU who we drafted in the 4th is going to be pretty solid IMO.

Sewell has a 71 grade on PFF through 2 weeks which is solid for a rookie tackle. His grade is over 10 points higher than both Bengals tackles.

Sewell plays a position they don't need, tackle. He also hasn't lit the league on fire yet.

It all comes down to what you think Chase is. If Chase is Julio / Hopkins good it's a fantastic pick. If he is merely a top 20 WR, it's bad.

I think it will end up being a mistake; should have taken Sewell.
Maybe the bengals are in win-now mode (which would make sense bc there are already articles about the HC being fired), but Detroit is obviously in a rebuild mode.
I think if Cincy had more of a "rebuild" mindset in the draft, then they would have gone with Sewell
