Injuries Considerations for Sewell vs Chase debate To be clear I’m Sewell over Chase with the 5th pick so I am biased.

However, one consideration I think Bengals fans forget about in the Chase vs Sewell debate is potential injuries.

If Reiff or Williams goes down during the season who is the next man up? Most likely the 2nd round pick. That means our line would consist of a rookie tackle in the second and a underperforming guard like Michael Jordan being plugged in the guard spot. Not to mention at Center we could have Price or a still recovering Hopkins. I would view this as disaster waiting to happen for a recovering Burrow.

Injuries do happen and the Bengals do seem to be snake bit in the injury department. Fingers crossed for minimal injuries, but I think current tackle depth on the team should be a consideration when making this pick.
