We're so far off, we're building for 2022/2023. Take the sure thing. Build a good team for a rookie QB to come into. If that means waiting until 2022 or 2023 to find a QB, so be it. I want the right one. There is no DeShaun Watson in the next draft anyway. There is Lawrence and a bunch of question marks. You don't draft question marks in the first round. That is a Gene Smith move.

And Sewell is a sure thing? like Joeckel? Gallery? Jason Smith?

No one said we would be a playoff team with Watson but we would be set at QB.

QB>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>LT

Also, Watson, Mahomes, Herbert were far from a sure thing too.

Pretty much no one is a sure thing. You draft your LT you could still end up with a clown at QB in 2022 or 2023 draft.
We all want the right one, doesn't mean we will get him for sure by waiting.

As close to a sure thing as you can get. Joeckel was never a sure thing. I HATED that pick. At that time, the coaching staff at Texas A&M recruited the same type of OT's over and over. They all displayed good feet and quickness, but they all lack functional strength and get torn apart by bull rushers. Anybody that watched college football at the time should've known that. Gallery was the same way. I don't even remember Jason Smith, so he couldn't have been too hyped. 

We wouldn't be set with Watson. By the time we had a team around him, he'd be broken. Besides, we're not trading for Watson and there is no Watson clone in the 2021 draft. 

QB is not always greater than LT. You have to look at the players as individuals. Sewell is hands down, the #2 player in the next draft. Period! You always draft BAP. Drafting for need will kill a franchise. We're already near death. 

We may not find the right one in 2022 or 2023, but it's better than reaching on some overrated QB in 2021 and passing on what appears to be the best LT to enter the draft in many years.
You always take the best player. Never reach.

I am just saying mostly about the Boselli vs Watson thing, I am not saying reach for a QB, but if the new (I hope it's new a one) GM believes in Fields or Lance and he has to take them with our first pick and that means passing on Sewell I am ok with that.

Then that means we hired an idiot as the new GM.
