No matter what kind of production the Cincinnati Bengals get from Ja’Marr Chase, the No. 5 overall pick, they’ll always be criticized for the decision to take him over Penei Sewell, especially if Sewell turns into an All-Pro tackle. Those are much harder to find than wide receivers and while Chase wasn’t a bad selection, the Bengals had bigger needs.
The Bengals’ biggest priority this offseason should have been to ensure that Joe Burrow had the best possible offensive line to protect him.
