Penei Sewell OT Oregon
IMHO best player in the draft He is your left tackle for the next 10 years plus Ja'Marr Chase is close

What's the more valid argument?

Both the WR and Tackle classes are pretty deep. I just can't get the image of Joe Burrow laid out in my mind...

I'll play devil's advocate. Burrow and today's NFL wants Chase, a legit top 5 receiving threat and it creates a strong young trio for many years to come. Can focus on the oline next round. This is the new school approach!

CINN can go in several directions at #5, and may move down a few spots for the best beef and a later rd pick. CINN's BPA is always a surprise. Sewell makes the most sense whether CINN stays at #5 or moves down. Pitts or Chase score points and win games. Tough spot for CINN this year.

Chase or Sewell, Sewell or Chase, Cha.....
The debate and mental torture goes on never ending circles.
Post draft rumors circulated that the Bengals FO were completely split 50/ 50 into the 'Sewell Camp' and the 'Case Camp'. Neither side was willing to budge an inch and each were completely convinced that their man was the correct path to follow. It has been said (although never acknowledged by official sources) the physical blows were exchanged at some point between the proponents. - What was to be done? The clock was ticking and no decision could be reached. The Bengals DC (he was seen between the factions as a 'neutral adjudicator') suggested a game of rock-paper-scissors to resolve matters one way or the other, but a savage argument then ensured whether this competition should be on 'sudden death', Best or Three' or 'Best of Five' basis.
The GM slumped into silent despair. 'tick-tock, tick-tock'.... time was running out. The GM knew that he would be loathed by half the gathering whatever was decided. - The silence was broken by the rattling of the tea-trolley coming along to provide some light refreshments for the 'war chamber' and when the person pushing the apparatus came into view she was seen to be an elderly lady of Chinese heritage. Upon her arrival she spoke into the silence that greeted her "Take courage, take courage|" and being a lady of knowledge and great wisdom sensed the tension and friction and the need for a more spiritual intervention.... She proclaimed "2021 is the year of the Ox... The Ox has great strength and a protector!" After a few moments silence the enormity of her words sank into everyone present and the cry went out from the GM. "Sewell, it is Sewell. We have divinity, we have guidance, we have a solution, we have our man!...".
The fight and endurance in the "Chase Camp" evaporated like water in a desert. They admitted defeat with a whimper and together headed to the tea-trolley for a cuppa and a bourbon biscuit.
So, the answer at pick five is quite easy and straightforward after all - Penei Sewell OT.
(Now off to boil the kettle and take in some medicinal refreshment myself...).
EDIT: Poll appears locked and I cannot vote.
