re: Ja'Marr Chase = Rookie of the Year

What part of it is false? There were 100’s of fans (Even a majority of LSU fans) white knighting for a guy they had never seen play over Chase, a player many had seen dominate SEC corners week in and out in 2019.

Maybe as an Oregon fan, you had seen Sewell play, but I am willing to bet that 99% of the people shouting at the rooftops that the Bengals take Sewell over Chase had never even seen Sewell play. It was just odd. Chase was a slam dunk pick with both the higher floor and ceiling of the 2 prospects. Sewell was largely an unknown quantity, yet most were convinced that the Bengals should/ should have selected him, even though highly drafted offensive lineman have around a 50% hit rate. And the fact that Sewell had sat out a year as well was an unprecedented situation. Just seems like an enormous risk to pick a 350 pounder that is a year removed from playing football vs an otherworldly athlete in Chase that has elite on and off the field chemistry with your franchise QB.
