You would want Penei Sewell over CJ Henderson? I can play dumb games too.

Are you saying that
1) CB at 1 is head and shoulders better than any linemen in the current darft
2) our need at CB outweighs our need at OL
3) if 1 or 2 is not the case, that all things being equal, you'd prefer to take CB over OL

If they are anywhere close evaluation-wise, you can't pass up the big guys. Sauce is great, he really is. But his team is not winning or losing games on his merit. You build a line that dominates, that will beat a team with a great CB every day of the week.

What they explain with the 1st pick is what i was saying.

meh.

I'm moving off the pick if he's so special. A fantastic DB isn't going to be the difference between a cellar dweller and a superb owl champ. Sneed was killing it for the chefs, they moved on from him and seem to be doing just fine. Meanwhile, Sauce has still never played a postseason game.

The difference between a great DB and a potentially great OL isn't enough for me to continue to forego building the thing that we all acknowledge is the priority. Move to where the value fits, but DB at 1 ain't changing our fortunes.
